"A man cannot with propriety speak of himself, 
except he relates simple facts ; as, 'I was at Rich- 
mond' ; or, what depends on mensuration; as, "/ 
am, six feet high': but he cannot be sure he is toise, 
or that he has any other excellence." 

—Dr. Johnson. 



FOREWORD 

" Who's Who in the Lyceum " is a set of tools, made and truly 
^ tempered, for work never yet wrought adequately. Whatever 

may be said or thought of " The Man With a Hoe," it is certain 
he is in better case than " The Man AVithout a Hoe." The crop that is yet 
to be harvested from the broad acres of the Lyceum field, will depend very 
largely upon the way these tools — here handed to the man — are handled by 
the man. 



The word Lyceum notably exemplifies and illustrates the fact 
that language grows. To-day the word includes what yesterday 
was absent; to-morrow it will include what to-day knows not. 
As to inclusions and exclusions for to-day, clearly the word Lyceum 
excludes the theater and includes the drama; it excludes whatever is specifi- 
cally and only theatric, and it includes whatever is specifically and wholly 
dramatic. It excludes whatever appeals solely to the eye or to the other 
senses — as senses; for example, all the gorgeous paraphernalia of usual per- 
ception ordinarily assumed at the Play to represent Life as it is, but whose 
very gorgeousness blinds the eye to see beneath the object to the subject, 
the word Lyceum excludes all such things of the senses; it includes whatever 
action, word or appearance reaches the soul through valid psychical appeals 
to the creative imagination. Life is dramatic, not theatric; of the essence 
and not of the form of things. Life is drama. Hence the drama finds its 
first, noblest and most complete expression, not at the Theater, but upon the 
Lyceum Platform. Here are won already, and here are yet to be doubly 
won, the greatest triumphs of the unfettered imagination. 

" Who's Who in the Lyceum " lays emphasis upon the declaration that 
whatever belongs indisputably to spiritual aesthetics — the realm of Life's most 
intimate and most significant drama — belongs to the Lyceum; whatever does 
not, belongs elsewhere. 

Clearly, too, and for the same reason, the word Lyceum excludes the 
vaudeville, the circus, the amusement in which the performer is but a per- 
former, whatever or whoever is " the whole show " ; and, in truth, it excludes 
every sort of entertainment whose roots and branches and fruit are evidently 
of the earth earthy. 



6 WHO'8 WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

" I am merely a society entertainer, having no particular connection with 
A Letter. the so-called Lyceum movement; therefore your volume will be complete 

without my biographical data." 

Excellent. This gentleman is commendable for his perspicacity and for 
the frankness of his avowal as well as for the exactness of his identification 
of the Lyceum, and of — himself. 

In the present work the word Lyceum includes particularly all Univer- 
sity Extension Lectureships, with all scientific, aesthetic, literary, educational 
and similar Lectureships, with interpretative Lecture-Recitals, together with 
Symphonic or even Solo Concerts, Readings, Dramatic Monologues, 
Dramatic Recitals of entire Dramas, and similar entertainments aiming at 
ends strictly aesthetic, artistic and moral.

As to eligibility to a place in " Who's Who in the Lyceum," 

^.,. ., .,., in instances where there is any doubt — as to this man or as 

Eligibility. , ,..,.,.., .11 1 . 1 

to that woman — eligibility is determined, though not exclu- 
sively, by satisfactory answers to three principal questions : 

(a) Is the candidate pursuing Lyceum work as an artistic vocation, or 
merely as a negligible avocation? 

(b) On the average, how many engagements does he fill annually? 

(c) What is the nature, and, to some indicative extent, what is the ideal 
of his work? 

At times this last standard brings us perilously near to the necessities 
of exercising judicial functions, notwithstanding " Who's Who " is a 
" record, not an estimate," a census of individuals rather than an appreciation 
of persons. Still, no injustice is done to an}'^, since all are brought alike to the 

same standards. 

* * * 

The task of determining these standards, both as to their 
J^^^ ^^^^ A A number and as to their significance, has been exceedingly 

difiicult, while the rigid application of them has been occa- 
sionally well-nigh impracticable. 

Probably some persons are included in the published list whom some 
would not admit. But where liberality has seemed a virtue of necessity, the 
interpretation of these standards has been liberal, particularly in instances 
where, evidently, genius is at once young, vigorous and crescent. 

Let the brilliant luminaries of the Lyceum heavens never forget that all 
the light of the nightly firmament radiates not from the fixed stars alone. 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 7 

" Who's Who in the Lyceum " is neither a Dun nor a

of this Work. . . . t, • . ^ -r. j j -n • JJ 

caymg talent or bureaus. It is not a Jb ads and -b ancies, 

nor yet a " Dictionary of Biography." Manifestly there is herein no place 
for the exploitation of expert verdicts, or of popular verdicts, good, bad or 
indifferent. No lecturer is alike good, bad or indifferent in all places and at 
all times. Some of the times and many of the places are themselves also 
g. b. and i. ; sometimes I. 

Some workers have their work in their hearts, and some have their 
hearts in their work, and some show the marks of both estates co-ordinate. 
But, as to who these are, this work was made to make no sign. This work 
doesn't know. It might be desirable — certainly it must be desirable — for a 
committee to know, in advance of the Bureau's paternal suggestions, whether 
So-and-So, "elocutionist," is first of all a genuine woman, with a real, a 
warm, a living soul within her, and next is also capable — capable of work- 
ing the miracles of interpretation, yea, of artistic and of aesthetic creation, or 
whether, in the last analysis she is to be gibbeted as only a frivolous mixture 
of millinery and Delsarte. And whether So-and-So, lecturer, is artist or only 
artisan; whether with him lecturing is an aesthetic art, or merely a piece of 
stark commercial handcraft; whether, for intellectual stimulus, for artistic 
inspiration, for ethical suggestiveness, and for general healthful impressive- 
ness, said So-and-So is clearly ratable at the ^ power, or only at the °- S- power. 
But on these points, and on all similar points, this work knows naught. 



Any adverse criticisms of this work's incompleteness, of its color- 
Caveat, lessness, of its character as mere chronicle, of the brevity and con- 
densed quality of its sketches, are vanquished easily by a fair pre- 
sentation of its aim, its scope and its utilities. Indeed, all such criticisms are 
routed with a single sentence : " This work is a Who's Who, not a What's 

Who!"

his own acquired, if not achieved modesty by a contemplation 

of others'. Each artist's claims will take on a fresh significance as he notes 

what others like himself are doing. It is a real comfort to any one to know 

that on the shores of any great enterprise he is not — alone. 

To Bureau Managers it furnishes reliable data — data of an intimate 
quality; data such as would cost the individual Bureaus time, toil and money 
beyond their thought. ISTow, and for the first time, they may learn what 
other Bureaus are doing, or are trying to do. 

To Committees it is indeed a boon. It widens their scope of observa- 
tion; it shows planets, suns, fixed stars, and even nebulae, in the heavens 
above, or on the horizon, that the * * * * Bureau's telescope never 
showed. 

It is true that the information published — regarding some stars — is a 
trifle nebulous, but that fact is itself revelatory to the eye of the astute 
Committee. 

It is also true this information is never intimate; in the scope of this 
work it could not be intimate ; yet is it sufficient to indicate to any Committee 
the direction in which such information may be sought wisely. 

To Editors, Librarians, Educators, Statesmen, Officials of the Public 
Service, and to others, this work affords utilities of immediate value. More- 
over, it will even create utilities not yet discerned, precisely as demand 
creates supply and supply creates demand.

The business side of " Who's Who in the Lyceum " — as a 

venture in publication — merits a brief paragraph. Without 

other solicitation than that couched in the bare terms of 

announcement, the de luxe edition has b&en over-subscribed, and the general 

edition about fully subscribed, in advance of publication. 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 



This result is gratifying to publishers and to the Editor, not more on 
business grounds than on the consideration that a discerning Lyceum Public 
Opinion has thus already passed favorable judgment upon the enterprise. 



In the compilation of this work the inevitable tedium of routine 
Curios. correspondence has been relieved at times by letters bearing sug- 
gestive comments, or containing caustic criticisms, or else revealing 
the essential humor of situations the writers never saw. 

One gentleman, a distinguished prelate of a great church — his sketch 
is found herein — declares his opinion on a certain matter thus : " The Lec- 
ture platform ought to stand for a message and not for a sing-song repetition 
of the only effort of which a man has been capable." 

Talent will do themselves justice, if not more, by writing this gentleman, 
quoting " let the galled jade wince," and adding ( ?) — the rest of the 
sentence. 

Another writer says, with charming naivete : " My work has made me, 
and not any Bureau." 

Through the mists of ambiguity that cloud this sentence one can dimly 
discern the intention of the writer. Doubtless such as he are famous, not 
because they are on the platform, nor yet because the platform is on them, 
but the platform is famous because they are on it, or, in spite of it. 

But the Kohinoor in this cabinet of Curios remains to outshine these 
other gems. To what a distance the malefic influence of " Fads and 
Fancies " has already traveled may be read between two lines of another 
letter. True, this letter was written by one, it must be confessed, the absence 
of whose name does not utterly ruin the work. And yet, such is the spirit of 
the man that this letter is one whose very paper — between said two lines — 
crimps and crumples itself rattlingly, phenomenally, and as if instinctively, 
with the writer's righteous indignation at once judicial and suspicious: 
" I will never allow my name to be used for purposes of advertisement." 

Doubtless he scents a bribe ! But the spotlessness of this man's virtuous 
purpose, not to say the unspotability of this man's virtuous purpose, affords 
a white background against which the sunlight of any publicity shows black. 
Let all Talent beware. 



10 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

An inspection of the data furnished herein, whether it be casual 

Queries, or not, will suggest certain important queries. "Why are so many 

people booking their own dates without the aid of any Bureau ? Is 

it because Bureaus and Talent do not understand, or is it because they do 

understand each other? 

Again, What is the average duration of popularity in lectures as com- 
pared with entertainments ? What is the Bureau's answer ? And what the 
Committee's answer? 

Again, Why are there so few good preachers who are also equally good 
lecturers? Is it because preachers do not know the essential difference 
between the functions of a sermon and those of a lecture ? Is it because they 
think a lecture is necessarily less important and less valuable than a sermon ? 
Is it because traditional homiletics has atrophied their sense of humor ? 

Again, What are the generic characteristics of the lecture themes 
treated upon the lecture platform of to-day ? And what principles may we 
safely use in identifying the sweep of Lyceum lecture currents to-day ? 

Again, Why do so many United States Congressmen, so many States- 
men, Historians, Travelers, Scientists, Political Economists, Philosophers, 
Clergymen, all of the very first class, ascend the Lyceum platform? And 
why are there not many more of these same classes ascending the Lyceum 

platform ?

The great personalities who are to dominate the Lyceum 
The Future of ^^ ^^® immediate future are not talkers simply, nor persons 
the Lyceum is of culture only, nor merely people of taste, though it be 
in the Hands at once delicate, delicious, exquisite. They are more, and 
of the Great i\^qj must be more. They are moral as well as intellectual 
Personalities. giants. Manifestly, even in the midst of the commercial, 

the industrial, the political, the materialistic chaos of the 
times, these men are present as brooding spirits, gifted out of infinity and 
hence out of eternity; gifted with architectonic capabilities and skill. 

These men are gifted with the reformative potencies of philanthropy, 
noble, altruistic, self-effacing, self -sacrificial. But far beyond this these men 
are gifted with that vaster dynamic^ — the preformative genius of creative- 
ness; they do things, and they do new things; they are workers, and they 
work all sorts of righteousness; they are genuine poets, weaving and working 
life's words into psalms and paeans, fitting every tongue; they are creators — 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 11 

creators of a new cosmos, ideal, yet coming down out of the heavens of truth, 
first into the vision, next into the ambition, and then into the enthralled 
affection of mankind. 

These men are creators, listening to whom all auditors feel supremely 
that the fires of artistic passion, the nice discernments of aesthetic wisdom, 
and the mighty sanctions of ethics exist in these creators plenarily, forma- 
tively and co-ordinately. These men are creators; they actually create new 
intellectual, aesthetic and even ethical situations in the imagination of their 
auditors; they take little words, and big, and into these they breathe the 
breath of all kinds of life, and thus are able to restate Life in newly-created 
forms and in newly-ordered scopes; and then these same creators, these who 
thus have re-stated Life, are able, with equal ease, to interpret this their own 
divine exegesis of Life, in forms of truth, in lives of beauty, and in the saving 
terms of righteousness. To these creators, these great personalities, the 
Lyceum calls to-day. To all others the Lyceum is dumb, yea, and makes no 
sign.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LYCEUM. 

BY ANNA L. CURTIS. 



GENERAL SURVEY. 

The Ljceum field has no mean acreage. Its plateaus and its vales 
etretch far beyond the vision. Yet, in any general survey thereof, and from 
any point of view, certain mountain peaks arrest the eye and dominate the 
horizon. 

Trustworthy data, recently gathered, show that the number of estab- 
lished Lyceum lecture courses in the United States — courses in which one 
ticket is sold for the entire season, courses which now are regularly held from 
year to year — cannot be far from six thousand. This statement relates to 
courses of Lyceum lectureships alone, and takes no cognizance of the num- 
berless single lectures, concerts, artistic and aesthetic entertainments, provided 
by local enterprise or by Lyceum bureaus. 

LOWELL INSTITUTE, BOSTON. 

In scrutinizing the details of this general survey, the free public lecture- 
ships, provided on permanent foundations, — like the Lowell Institute Courses 
in Boston, or the Peabody Institute Courses in Baltimore, — must be particu- 
larly noted. These lectureships are rapidly increasing in number in every 
part of the land, and are constantly increasing in their efficient ministry to 
our national intellectual vigor. Moreover, by their strictly formal character 
and by their profound philosophic and inspirational quality, they attract as 
their clientele the very elite of local culture. 

THE BOAKDS OF EDUCATION. 

Lectureships maintained under legislative authority, and at public 
expense, by Boai'ds of Education — as in New York City and State — for the 
propagation of useful information in the practical arts of domestic life, for the 
instruction of the public in the proper arts of sanitation, and of medical and 
surgical assistance in emergencies, and for the publication, exploitation and 
illustration of current scientific discoveries and inventions — these must be 
noted also. 



16 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

UNIVERSITY SUMMER SESSIONS AND EXTENSION COURSES, 

The summer sessions held each year under the auspices of our foremost 
Universities, and as a constituent section of their curriculum, Universities 
whose principal professors are retained as lecturers, and in which sessions all 
sorts of technical, sociologic, pedagogic, scientific and philosophic themes 
are presented luminously to thousands of secular school teachers, scholars, 
investigators and literati, must be noted also. 

The University Extension Lecture Courses, covering almost every con- 
ceivable subject of human interest, whether to scholars or to students, and 
constantly increasing in number, in efficiency and in prophetic significance, — 
these must be noted also. 

And next, there is the rapidly-multiplying host of Y. M. C. A. public 
lectureships, and of institutional church lectureships, covering technical 
instruction and inspiration in the trades, in the arts and in the industrial crafts. 
These, appealing principally to men, and in the out-of-busiaess hours, and 
though admittedly but a by-aim of the ethical and religious propaganda of 
institutional Christianity, nevertheless afford first-class lectureships in the 
creative arts and in the commercial and the industrial utilities. 

LECTURESHIPS PRO^nDED BY CIVIC ENTERPRISE. 

Next we note the multitudinous evening lectureships which, though 
appealing forcibly only to special classes of students, are yet also open to the 
general public, lectureships provided through civic enterprise and forecast, 
by manual training schools, institutes of technology and city high schools, 
euch as the Mechanic Arts High School of Boston. 

We note, also, the lectureships — restrictedly secular in the character 
of their instruction, and largely technical both in form and in spirit — con- 
ducted by the trade and guild schools and by schools of technique principally 
for their own cKents, yet open to the public without charge. Such lecture- 
ships bring the enthusiasms as well as the incitements of education to thou- 
sands of citizens already mentally virile and alert. 

THE SUMMER ASSEMBLIES. 

The summer Assemblies — increasing at a most remarkable rate — ^with 
their free public platform, the freest in America, the most untrammeled, free 
for the announcement of the latest discoveries of fact in science, or in litera- 
ture, or in art, free for the heralding of the grandest ideals in human thought, 



WHO'i^ WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 17 

these Assemblies, with their schools and guilds and solidarities and incessant 
lectureships, these must be noted also. 

The winter Assemblies, held for a single week in our largest churches, 
offering lectures of the highest order, three times each day, drawing talent 
from our greatest universities, seminaries and pulpits — these must be noted 
also. 

women's clubs. 

Literature and art lectureships conducted by women's clubs, by artists' 
clubs, and by schools of aesthetic culture, and furnishing both to their own 
intelligent and ambitious clientele and to the general public as well, the rudi- 
ments and the inspirations of artistic education, if not artistic life itself, — these 
also stand out clearly and nobly before the eye. 

Between one and two thousand persons gain a livelihood upon the plat- 
form, while the number of those who devote only a part of their time to the 
platform cannot be fewer than three or four thousand. It seems hardly possi- 
ble that this great business of to-day is but the outgrowth of a dream of yester- 
day. But so it is. Along in the first quarter of the century just closed, educa- 
tion, always a fad of the Americans, suddenly became a hobby. All sorts of 
societies were organized over night, societies for the diffusion of useful knowl- 
edge, mercantile associations, teachers' seminaries, literary institutes, book 
clubs, societies of education — every sort of society whose name sounded 
learned and educational. Some of them lasted only until the members could 
invent for them a baptismal name, and then quietly died. Few of them out- 
lived the first ten years. Among this multitude was one insignificant little 
institution, established in November, 1826, as is recorded in the " American 
Journal of Education," by some forty or fifty farmers and mechanics of the 
little town of Millbury, Mass. There was nothing surprising in their form- 
ing an association. Organization was in the very air. Any town that wanted 
to be at all up to date had to organize something educational — two or three 
of them, if the town were large enough. So these Millbury farmers and 
mechanics formed themselves into " The Millbury Branch, JSTo. 1, of the 
American Lyceum." " The American Lyceum," now an established fact 
and a household word in many a town, then only a dream — the dream of 
Josiali Holbrook, of Derby, Conn. 

This historic character merits at least a paragraph. Josiah Holbrook 
was what an irreverent generation might call " a stone agent." A firm believer 



18 WHO'8 WnO IN THE LYCEUM. 

in tlie efficacy of natural science studies as a panacea for the cure of all sorts 
of educ-ational ills, already, in 1826, he had spent several years traveling 
about Massachusetts and Connecticut, lecturing on geology and mineralogy, 
and urging every town to form its own. little cabinets of specimens, and to 
study far more, not only these, but all the natural sciences. Wandering min- 
strels and traveling preachers there had been before, but never, we think, a 
peripatetic lecturer on the natural sciences. He was the first of this race ; if 
not the first, at least the most genetic. Moreover, to him more than to any- 
one else do we owe the introduction of the natural sciences into our public 
school curriculums, as subjects for regular study. But his greatest title to 
remembrance is that he dreamed of an " American Lyceum," worked with all 
his strength to make that dream reality, and in truth laid the foundation for 
the great Lyceum system of to-day. 

JOSIAH HOLBROOk's PLAN. 

Now, what was this American Lyceum to be, as seen in Josiah Hol- 
brook's dream? A means of popular education, of self -culture and of commun- 
ity instruction such as should make the wilderness of uncultivated mind blos- 
som as the rose. Mr. Holbrook's plans, as outlined in Barnard's " Journal 
of Education," early in 1826, required that every town should have its own 
Lyceum, with library, collections of specimens in natural history, cabinets of 
mineralogical treasures, courses of lectures given by the members, the mem- 
bers themselves grouped in sections for the study of science, history and 
art. Delegates from the Town Lyceums were to form the County Lyceums, 
and from these, in turn, would be made up the State Lyceums, while the 
ISTational American Lyceum was to be composed of delegates from all the 
State societies. Here is a scheme sufficiently large and far reaching, it would 
seem, to fill the ambition of the man who devised it, and whose life was 
devoted to its historic unfolding. Yet it was not. If Josiah Holbrook had 
lived to-day, probably he might have been tempted to organize an educational 
trust, or to corner the market in professors. As it was, he planned a World 
Lyceum, of which Chancellor Brougham, of England, should be president, 
and which should have fifty-two vice-presidents, men distinguished in science 
and in philanthropy, men chosen from every country in the world. And this, 
almost before the Millbury Lyceum, " Branch JSTo. 1," was fully organized. 

However, we must not give Josiah Holbrook credit for an imagination 
too vivid and strenuous. The word " Lyceum " he bori'owed from the spot 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 19 

where Aristotle used to lecture to the vouth of Greece, while various details 
of his system were probably adapted from other sources. For instance, Frank- 
lin's Junto may have given him the idea of mutual instruction, and the Paris 
Lyceum, where Monsieur de la Harpe lectured daily from 1786 to 1794, is 
a possible source of his plan for instruction by series of lectures. The Paris 
Conservatory of Arts and Trades, founded in 1796, and the Mechanics' Insti- 
tutes of England, which increased in number from one in 1823 to seven 
hundred in 1860, probably added somewhat to the form of Holbrook's grand 
scheme. But the system was his own. These other efforts at popular adult 
education were all comparatively small and insignificant; his was perhaps the 
most comprehensive system ever originated, without exception, 

" The Millbury Branch, 'No. 1, of the American Lyceum " was the first 
fruit of Holbrook's toil, lecturing, wi*iting, distributing circulars, and travel. 
But Millbury happened to be only a little ahead of its neighbors. Twelve 
or fifteen nearby villages promptly followed its example, and early in 1827 
Worcester County, Mass., could boast of having the first County Lyceum. 

The Lyceum germ having now found a most fertile soil, it might have 
been safely left to grow and multiply without further solicitude on the part 
of Mr. Holbrook. But he never relaxed his efforts. Up and down and 
criss-cross he went, through Massachusetts and Connecticut, always talking 
Lyceum, and personally organizing hundreds of societies. In 1828 nearly a 
hundi'ed branches of the " American Lyceum " had been formed, and by 
the end of 1829 there were societies in nearly every State in the Union. 
Two years later their numbers were approaching a thousand, and in 1834, 
the high water mark was reached, at which time nearly three thousand town 
Lyceums were scattered throughout the United States, from Boston to Detroit 
and from Maine to Florida. The greatest interest was shown in JSTew Eng- 
land and the South, where everyone who could stoop or talk was picking up 
stones for the Lyceum cabinet or working up lectures for the benefit of his 
fellow-members. 

THE FIRST STATE LYCEUMS. 

County Lyceums were formed almost as quickly, Massachusetts being 
so dissatisfied -with its record of seventy-eight town and three county Lyceums 
in 1829, that it even appointed a State Board to promote the county organ- 
izations and thus to hasten the arrival of a State society. This Board did its 
work so well that early in 1831 the State organized its longed-for Lyceum. 



20 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

But it was not the first in point of time. Though by only six weeks, yet 
for once IS^ew York had beaten New England in the educational race, while 
Florida, a State of twelve years' standing, was but little behind. Others 
followed rapidly, and on May 4th, 1831, New York City received the conven- 
tion for the formation of an American Lyceum. One thousand town Lyceums 
were represented by twenty-three delegates, and in a meeting enthusiastic 
to the last degree, the American Lyceum was triumphantly organized " for 
ever and ever," declaring its object to be " the advancement of education, 
especially in the common schools, and the general diffusion of knowledge." 
A splendid program, indeed; the pity of it is that the association had so short 
a life in which to carry it out. For eight years meetings were held annually 
in ISTew York, the number of delegates varying from sixty to a hundred, 
according to the state of ways, wind and weather, three of the most important 
items to be considered by any convention in those days. Unfortunately, the 
meetings were all held in the spring, when mud was the deepest and rain the 
heaviest, so that, although at least eight States — Xew York, Maine, MassH- 
chusetts, Illinois, jSTew Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Florida — 
formed State Lyceums, there was never a meeting at which all the eight were 
represented. In November, 1839, a National Convention was called. This 
was attended by more delegates than had gathered at any previous meeting; 
it was even more enthusiastic; it offered suggestions for almost every branch 
of education; it adjourned full of plans for the future, — and never met 
again. Thus died the American Lyceum Union, and no historic lantern 
throws light on the cause of its sudden exit. But its eight years of life had 
been worth while in eveiy way. It forwarded education in Cuba, Venezuela 
and Mexico; it gave our common school system an impetus toward better 
things which has never been lost, and it left behind many educational, literary 
and lecture associations founded through its influence, some of which are still 
in existence, and all of which have left their influence on the educational life 
of the country. 

The town Lyceums, also, were left, and these carried on their work, each 
in its own manner, some for a year, some for twenty, thirty or fifty. The 
purpose of all was well enough expressed in the constitution of the society 
in New Bedford, Mass. " The objects of this Lyceum are the improvement 
of its members in useful knowledge, and the advancement of popular educa- 
tion." As to the fee for membership, let us turn again for information to 
the same constitution, which probably differed little from any other, and 



I

which states that " one animal fee shall be two dollars, but the sum of thirtv 
dollars paid at any time will entitle a person, his heirs and assigns, to one 
membership forever." It is not recorded how many persons availed them- 
selves of the privileges so generously offered in this latter clause. 

A list of the towns in which these Lyceums were established might be 
interesting, but such a list is not kno^vn to exist. More, however, seem to 
have been in Massachusetts than in any other State. New Bedford, Mill- 
bury, Concord, Salem, Cambridge, Littleton, Beverly, Worcester, Harvard, 
Topsfield, Charlestown and Boston, of which last Daniel Webster was presi- 
dent for several years, these are a few of the many organized in that State. 
In the other States, even the names of the towns seem lost. Andover, IST. H., 
had a Lyceum, and so did Detroit, Mich., while Windham County, Conn., 
was the second (Worcester, Mass., being the first) to form a county Lyceum. 
We know that the idea was taken up with spirit throughout the South, par- 
ticularly in Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. But nowhere do the 
Lyceums seem to have lived so long or to have left so deep an impression as in 
Massachusetts. Consequently, the history of the Lyceum is its history in 
Massachusetts, at least from 1825 to 1890. 

HOME TALENT. 

But, whether their existence was long or short, the central idea of all 
the three thousand Lyceums of 1834 was that of self-instruction and mutual 
education. The means by which they set about attaining this end were 
various, consisting of lectures, debates, essays, conversation, or a mixture 
of all, though in most cases the meetings varied only between lectures and 
debates. However, everything educational was grist for their mills, and it 
is recorded that in the town of Concord, when once a storm kept away the 
lecturer of the evening, the chairman read Governor Morton's message aloud, 
from beginning to end. It may well be said that our ancestors were of 
sterner stuff than we. These meetings were held weekly. How did the com- 
mittee manage to secure such a continuous performance of lecturers and 
debaters? By means of home talent. For the first ten years of the system 
there was almost no interchange of lecturers. Every man spoke in his home 
town only, and spoke whenever requested, upon whatever subject he knew 
best. But if the membership fee was only about two dollars, how did the 
societies manage to pay all these scores of lecturers? Ah, here the modest 
beauty of the system makes us moderns blush! Until about 1840 home talent 



22 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

received no fee except the applause of fellow-citizens; and as lecturers from 
outside, if any ever came, received only traveling expenses, the main source 
of outlay was the lighting of the hall. Thus, in an " Historical Sketch of the 
Salem Lyceum," we learn that from 1830 to 1845 native Salemites delivered 
127 of all the lectures given in that town, while during the next forty years 
only forty were given by home talent. According to the same good author- 
ity, it would seem that the town of Salem was either exceedingly extravagant, 
or else much more well-to-do than its neighbors. For, after 1836, the towns- 
people were paid, and, more than that, were paid twenty dollars for an address. 
It was Salem, too, which about this time gave the first hundi'ed-dollar fee 
ever received by any lecturer, Daniel Webster being the honored recipient 
of this unheard-of honorarium. The contrast between Salem and the neigh- 
boring towns in this respect is shown by the fact that in 1841 a particularly 
bright and shining star was offered ten dollars in addition to his expenses 
as a special inducement to lecture in Concord. We may suppose that he 
accepted with alacrity, but it was some time before the thrifty folks of 
Concord could forgive the wasteful extravagance of their committee. Why 
should they have offered ten dollars, wlien five would probably have done 
as well? 

THE TWO SUEVIVOES. 

Up to a certain point the history of all the Lyceums is the same; first, 
home talent only; then a few speakers from nearby towns, just for variety's 
sake; then imported lecturers almost entirely — if the Lyceum organization 
lasted long enough. Comparatively few of them did reach this third stage. 
They passed out of existence very rapidly during the late thirties and the ten 
or fifteen years following- and their little libraries and collections of geolog- 
ical, mineralogical or natural history specimens were scattered, or went to 
build up other institutions. The Lyceum village of Berea, O., which Mr. 
Holbrook established in 1837, and which he fondly hoped would be the first 
of a series stretching across the continent, failed within ten years. By 1880 
not one in thirty of the old Lyceums remained; now there are but two, 
historic Concord, and Salem. In these the Lyceum is a li^dng force to-day, 
no less than in Ottawa, Kan., or in Elkhart, Ind., and the history of either 
for the past seventy-five years is such as would gladden the heart of Josiah 
Holbrook himself; it is the story of an undying devotion to all that is best 
and noblest in popular education. 

It may be worth while to come a little closer to these two typical and 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. B3 

Listoric Lyceums that we may learn in what respects they differ from their 
younger brethren, and in what particular qualities we may find the secret of 
their survival. 

The Concord Lyceum was founded by Mr. Holbrook himself on the 7th 
of Januaiy, 1829, II we may believe the address made by C. H. Walcott 
at the celebration of its fiftieth anniversary, there were fifty-seven charter 
members, although that number was soon greatly increased. Each member 
might bring his family and two ladies, while, as a special privilege, widows, 
mth their children, were admitted without charge. Probably it was assumed, 
if not figured, that widows and children would not carry away enough wis- 
dom to rob any one else who might benefit by it. I'he first lecturer, oddly 
enough, in those days of home talent, lived at least six miles away, in the 
neighboring town of Waltham. His address bore the familiar title of " Pop- 
ular Superstitions," but, as nothing remains to us except the • name, it is 
impossible to judge of the lecture itself, either as to its scope or as to its lit- 
erary quality. In the course of the next half century the little town 
of two thousand inhabitants indulged itself in 784 lectures, 105 debates 
and 14 concerts, these last being given after 1870. JSTot all the lectures 
were given by residents of the town, although, with citizens Ralph 
Waldo Emerson and Henry D. Thoreau as a beginning, it hardly seems that 
the town would need to call in outside aid very often. As a matter of 
fact, Emerson gave ninety-eight of these lectures, and Thoreau, who was 
secretary of the Lyceum in 1840, nineteen, — all without pay, as befitted loyal 
towTismen. These alone were enough to insure the success of the Lyceum 
in Concord; but when in addition we see upon its list of lecturers for that 
first fifty years such men as Henry Ward Beecher, Stan* King, Edward 
Everett Hale, Theodore Parker, Horace Greeley, Louis Agassiz, Oliver W. 
Holmes, James Hussell Lowell, Charles A. Dana, Edwin Whipple, James 
T. Fields, Wendell Phillips and George W. Curtis, and these not once only, 
but repeatedly, we can no longer wonder at the continued success of tho 
Concord Lyceum. The town is noted, also, as the first to include music in 
its Lyceum courses. This was in the winter of 1830-31. Possibly there was 
no way to avoid it, as said music was furnished by the Concord Band, which 
occasionally volunteered its services, — whenever it had learned a new piece, 
probably. In addition to the music, the strenuous Concordites had a course 
of twelve debates and thirty lectures. 'No wonder that a committee varying 
in number from three to six had to be appointed annually " to regulate the 



24 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

behavior of the boys." Lecture committees of to-day might take a hint hero 
from old Concord. For a number of years only members of the Lyceum and 
the inevitable " widows, with their families," were allowed to attend. Then, 
as great lecturers came from outside, whom non-members desired to hear, the 
ticket system began to be adopted, and finally it supplanted the old system. 

There are no records to show that the Concord Lyceum ever made any 
collection worthy of the name. It seems to have devoted itself almost 
entirely to lectures and debates, and is now similar in almost every par- 
ticular to any other enterprising modern Lyceum. But the Salem Society, 
now known as the Essex Institute, from the incorporation into itself of several 
other bodies, historical or scientific, has retained, unchanged, the spirit with 
which it was founded early in 1830. There are, and there have been from 
the first, a library, and a museum of natural history, while the Institute is 
divided into four departments, historical, natural history, horticultural and 
fine arts, and tAvo free lecture courses, with exhibitions and publications, aid 
the members in their study. Josiah Holbrook's idea in its perfected form 
exists to-day in the Salem Institute, and nowhere else. 

One other institution there is, however, which should venerate the name 
of Holbrook, and that is the Lowell course of free lectures, of Boston, later 
called the Lowell Institute, which owes its foundation in 1832 by John 
Lowell, a cousin of the poet, to the influence of Josiah Holbrook. This Insti- 
tute, according to Dr. Edward Everett Hale, was simply the culmination of 
the various courses already existing in Boston, and which he declares to have 
been conducted almost exactly on the plan of the present-day University 
Extension lectures, — except for two important things: there was less to pay 
and more to hear. The prices varied from fifty cents to two dollars a course, 
while the lectures might number anywhere from ten to fifteen. In " A New 
England Boyhood," Dr. Hale mentions as among these lecturers of the early 
thirties Dr. Jacob Bigelow, giving courses on botany; Henry "Ware, on Pal- 
estine, and Edward Everett, on Greek antiquities. 

LOWELL AS A LECTURER. 

According to " James Russell Lowell and His Friends," also by Dr. 
Hale, there were in Boston alone, towards the end of the same decade, public 
courses given by at least five organizations: the Boston Lyceum, the Society 
for Diffusing Useful Knowledge, the Mercantile Library Association, the 
Mechanics' Association and the Historical Society. It was by lectures before 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 85 

these bodies, says Dr. Hale, that James Russell Lowell first gained a local 
reputation and a name, while still a boj scarcely out of college and not yet 
even of age. He was feeling around for his place in the world, and it was 
not long before his temperance lectures and afterwards those on anti-slavery 
had given him a reputation which made him one of the most popular lecturers 
up to the time of the Civil War. It was probably in the early part of his 
career that he wrote to the Andover Lyceum, asking if they would give " so 
much as five dollars " for a lecture. This letter, we are told, is still in 
existence, but, unfortunately for those who would like to know whether or not 
he got the job, the answer is not. It is to be hoped, however, that the 
Andover committee seized upon the chance. 

It must have been some years later tliat Lowell's brilliant contemporary, 
Starr King, perpetrated that now well-worn Lyceum chestnut, " F A M E. — 
Fifty And My Expenses," when asked for what he lectured. It was Starr 
King, also, who was first responsible for the saying that to be truly popular 
a Lyceum lecture should be made up of five parts of sense and five of non- 
sense. 

THE FIEST PKOFESSIONAL LECTDEEB. 

Mr. King was among the earliest professional lecturers, and yet by no 
means the first. The five years of the greatest development of the old 
Lyceum, from 1835 to 1840, marked the arrival of the professional lecturer 
as well as the beginning of the end for the system which made him not only 
possible, but necessary. And it is to Emerson that we must give the credit 
of discovering this new profession. Time, Horace Mann lectured every week- 
day night for eleven years, 1837 to 1848; but these were the years of his 
secretaryship for the Massachusetts Board of Education, and the lecturing 
was considered by him only a part of his duty, says Thomas Wentworth Hig- 
ginson. But Emerson lectured ninety-eight times in Concord and twenty 
successive years in Salem. Higginson tells us that when he was manager of 
the Newburyport lecture course, in 1847, he received the strictest directions 
to include Emerson, no matter who else was on the course, and to pay him 
twenty dollars, while no one other speaker was to receive more than fifteen. 
Moreover, Emerson felt so confident of his position that some time in the 
forties he wrote a letter to the Waltham committee, stating that he would 
" come for the five dollars offered, but must have in addition four quarts of 
oats for his horse." (We are glad to say that he received the provender, 
though only after much discussion.) Yes, Emerson was the first professional 



26 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

lecturer, and it has been said of liim, not only that he created that profession, 
but that he gave the Lyceum of this country its form and character. Almost 
everything he wrote after "" oSTature," say the " Old South Leaflets," was 
originally for the platform. " My pulpit is the Lyceum platform," he once 
said, and his devotion to it during the five-dollar days was well rewarded when 
in his later years he received from $150 to $500 for a single lecture. 

But Emerson did not long hold the platform alone as a professional 
lecturer. John B. Gough began lecturing in 1842, and Wendell Phillips 
three years later. In this same year of 1845, by the way. Dr. A. A. Willits, 
now well named the Dean of the American Platform, delivered his first lec- 
ture, in Philadelphia, on the subject of " The Model Wife." It may be inter- 
esting to know that this lecture, though sixty-one years of age, is still in Dr. 
Willits' s repertoire, and is still available. 

THE PLATFORM A EEFOKM AGENT. 

Others rapidly followed, — George William Curtis, E. P. ^Hiipple, 
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Bayard Taylor, and then, as the spirit of reform and 
agitation swept over the country, the platform became one of the strongest 
and most effective brooms used in the sweeping. Every well-known lecturer 
was a reformer, and a reformer to whom his cause was dearer than was life 
itself. Temperance, woman's suffrage and the anti-slavery movement, — < 
these were the three great causes which gave to these inspired men and women 
veritable words of flame. Lowell threw himself with enthusiasm, first into the 
cause of temperance, then of anti-slavery. Gough never swerved from the 
position he had taken in 1842 as an antagonist of drink, but Lucy Stone, Anna 
Dickinson, Wendell Phillips, George William Curtis, Henry Ward Beecher, 
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Edward H. Chapin, Charles Sumner, and many 
others who had entered the Lyceum in behalf of temperance or woman's 
rights, these, subordinating the lesser cause to the greater, as 1850 approached, 
joined William. Lloyd Garrison and Fred Douglass in denouncing and argu- 
ing against slavery and the slave-holders. 

Then came the days of hostile audiences, of hisses and catcalls, and even 
bodily assault upon the lecturer. On several occasions Garrison narrowly 
escaped injury, and it is recorded of Miss Stone that it was only her quick 
wit which saved her and her companion from an angry mob gathered to attack 
them after an anti-slavery meeting. Terrified for Miss Stone as he saw the 
hostile faces confronting them, her friend exclaimed, " What can I do to pro- 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 27 

tect you? " " Oh/' slie replied, '' this gentleman will take care of me," — at 
the same time placing her hand on the arm of one of the ringleaders. The 
man gaped in astonishment, but meekly accepted the trust. He escorted Miss 
Stone in safety through the staring mob, v»'hich was so absorbed in staring, 
by the way, that even her friend as well came off scot-free. 

But Miss Stone was at this time thoroughly accustomed both to ridicule 
and to passive and active opposition. It was in 1847, as Major Pond tells 
us in his " Eccentricities of Genius," that a Maiden (Mass.) minister thus 
announced her anti-slavery address: "I am requested by Mr. Mowey to 
announce that a hen will endeavor to crow like a cock at the Town Hall this 
afternoon. Those of you who are interested in such an exhibition will, of 
course, attend." Unfortunately, we are not told of the size of the audience 
gathered by this appeal. 

In these years the first effort of every speaker was to get an audience; 
the second, to make it friendly. All sorts of devices were used in order to 
change hostility or open indifference into eager, wann-hearted sympathy. 
An excellent case in point is one related of Wendell Phillips by Dr. E. E. 
Hale. Phillips was billed to lecture in a certain town, but nothing had been 
said about the address itself up to the time of his arrival. Then it appeared 
that the committee was " stuck "; half of them wanted " The Lost Arts," and 
the others an anti-slavery talk, while no one would give in. " Well," said 
Phillips, "I'll give both; ^ The Lost Arts' first, and then an anti-slavery 
speech to all who wish to stay for it." And he did. Of course, no one left the 
hall after the first lecture, and he had the sympathetic and even enthusiastic 
audience which he desired for his second. 

The war passed on, and left the reputations of these men and women 
higher than ever. Anna Dickinson had changed Vermont from a Democratic 
to a Republican State ; Mary Livermore had brought about the great Sanitary 
Commission Fairs for the benefit of the wounded soldiers; Beecher had sold 
slaves in Plymouth Church, and secured in an hour thousands of dollars for 
the freedmen. 'Not one of the great agitators but was overwhelmed with 
laurels won before and during the war. Here was material ready to hand 
from which to reconstruct the lecture system, which had been well-nigh 
destroyed during the five years' struggle. And it was reconstructed. At 
least there were many lectures given. But for several years there was no 
system about it. Only too often did a committee inform a lecturer that it 
would " try to pay " the fee named. He would come, lecture with all his 



28 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

might, and then would receive the proceeds of a collection, which rarely even 
paid expenses. The definitely-stated fees were quite as surprising in their 
nature and amount. Beecher was one day paid with twelve bushels of pota- 
toes, and in Andover, N, H., Gough once received a ham as his fee. 

It seems, perhaps, unworthy of our great speakers that the " filthy 
lucre " should have been of the slightest consequence to them. It must have 
been, however, as they soon began to vigorously " kick against the pricks "of 
this system, and within a year or two after the Civil War many lecturers 
absolutely refused to speak at all unless guaranteed a definite compensation. 
The collection method was evidently unsatisfactory; what system could be 
devised which would suit? 

THE ASSOCIATED WESTERN LITEEABY SOCIETIES. 

The enterprising West took the first step toward solving the problem. 
In this supposedly raw and uncultured land there were, it appears, even at 
this time, numerous oases in the shape of literary societies. A number of 
these societies, anxious to hear the great literary and military lights of the 
East, but each unable by itself to bear the necessary expense, decided that 
in union was strength, and in 1867 organized themselves into the " Associated 
Western Literary Societies." The combination was successful from the start. 
In 1867-8, the first secretary, Mr. G. L. Torbert, of Dubuque, la., brought 
thirty-five lecturers West, as we are told by Thomas Wentworth Higginson, 
and managed to give them tolerably consecutive dates among the one hun- 
dred and ten allied societies stretching from Pittsburg, Pa., to Leavenworth, 
]ian. The next year, C. S. Carter, of Michigan University, enticed even 
more speakers into the " golden West," and the societies fairly reveled in 
the learning and oratory which was showered over them. As a separate 
institution, however, the association lasted only imtil 1870, when it was 
merged into the American Literary Bureau of New York, then in its third 
vigorous year. Mr. James K. Medbury, the founder of this Bureau, did not 
long enjoy a monopoly of the big new field just opened for cultivation. In 
fact, the year 1868 marked not only the establishment of his o^vn Bureau, 
but also that of its rival, the Boston Lyceum Bureau (now Redpath) by 
James Redpath. Benjamin Webb Williams followed in 1869 with the 
Williams Lecture and Musical Bureau, and the day of helter-skelter lectur- 
ing had passed forever. The object of all three of these pioneer Bureaus 
was the same, — to systematize the lecture business, and do away with ham 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 29 

and potatoes as lecture fees. And the lecturers, at least, were willing to be 
systematized. Business poured in upon the Bureaus, — more business than 
they could well manage in those days, when stenography and typewriters 
were unknown. There were still giants in those days, and the list of names 
on the first Bureau announcement ever issued sounds very much like a hasty 
review of the greatest men of the century, — Bronson Alcott, Ralph Waldo 
Emerson, Henry Ward Beecher, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner, Henry 
Wilson (Senator from Massachusetts), George William Curtis, John B. 
Gough, General Swift (of Massachusetts), Horace Greeley, Russell H. Conwell 
and Fred Douglass. Twelves names, hardly one of which is not recalled with 
love and admiration to-day, although, with one exception, that of Russell 
Conwell, belonging to a past generation; and there were other lecturers, as 
good or nearly so. Those were palmy days for the Lyceum, the palmiest it 
had known, for, if the array of talent was the most remarkable in the history 
of the institution, the prices paid for it were equally remarkable. Before 
1850 there had been but few recorded instances of fees of over fifty dollars, 
"while Daniel Webster's occasional compensation of a hundred must have 
seemed like a dream to him, — and probably a nightmare to others. But now, 
in the early seventies, money was dirt cheap, and the prices paid were fabu- 
lous. From Major Pond's " Eccentricities of Genius " we learn that Mark 
Twain, then just beginning to lecture, received $300 a night, which doesn't 
seem at all bad for a beginner. Beecher received five hundred dollars ordin- 
arily, although in 18Y2 he received from the Redpath Bureau the first thou- 
sand-dollar fee ever paid to any lecturer. ISTo, the Bureau lost nothing; on 
the contrary, it gained double the amount paid Mr. Beecher. Few lecturers 
could come up to this standard. P. T. Bamum, as an unreformed circus- 
man, and Robert Collyer, the blacksmith-preacher, received two hundred 
each, and Anna Dickinson anywhere from one hundred and fifty dollars to 
twice that sum. Gough, whose earliest lectures, given in 1842, brought 
'him less than a dollar each, and w^hose first settled fee was eight dollars, 
according to Benjamin Webb Williams, who paid it to him, now received 
from three hundred to five hundred dollars a night for his wonderful temper- 
ance addresses. These were ordinary compensations for the kings of the plat- 
form. As for those of coarser clay, it would seem, from an old circular of the 
American Literary Bureau, that they would accept one hundred dollars if they 
could get it. Unfortunately for them, however, most of their fees were ar- 
ranged on the sliding scale, — "from one hundred dollars to twenty-five 
dollars," for instance, was by no means an uncommon quotation, on this 



30 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

circular, at least, — and it is to be wondered how often the recompense did 
elide to the top. These home-made lecturers would probably not have objected 
to a high tariff on the foreign product when the Williams Bureau imported 
Archdeacon Farrar and paid him $2,150 for two lectures. But Major Pond 
far surpassed this record when he gave Henry M. Stanley, just returned from 
the depths of Africa and the Pygmy forest, the sum of $100,000 for one hun- 
dred lectures. The gross receipts for Stanley's first lecture, it may be men- 
tioned, were $17,800. 

MUSIC IN" THE LYCEUM. 

But this was all too good to last, and about 1875 the Lyceum began to 
show signs of weakness. The field was constantly growing, and there were 
not enough lecturers to go around. Several of the veteran lecturers were 
dead, and in their zeal to book those that were well known, the Bureaus had 
failed to train up younger men to take their places. The difference between 
demand and supply was too great for comfort, and the Bureau managers 
turned to music as the one thing which might prop up their tottering courses. 
" "Were there no readers in those days? " you may ask. Yes, there were a 
few, notably Mrs. Scott Siddons, Charlotte Cushman and Helen Potter, all of 
whom drew salaries as high as those of the greatest lecturers of the time. 
Lecture courses consisted usually of ten numbers of straight talk, including 
one, possibly two, evenings of readings. But the number of readers was small, 
indeed, as compared to the large number who fill the ranks to-day, and they 
could do little to eke out the lecture courses. Music was the last recourse, 
and the Mendelssohn Quintette Club, the first concert company on any 
Bureau list, was organized by Mr. Eedpath in 1873. This was soon followed 
by the Camilla TJrso Company and the English Lyceum Opera Company. 
Then Ole Bull was secured for fifty concerts. It cost $25,000, but the 
Bureau did not begrudge the money. Other concert companies were formed, 
and introduced a new element into the Lyceum, — the advance agent, the first 
of which order was employed by the ola Boston Bureau (now the Redpath 
Lyceum Bureau, Hathaway & Pond, managers). Ten years later, in 1887-8, 
Mr. Hathaway had five men on the road. 

And here begins the modern Bureau system, of which we need say but 
little. Several Bureaus had sprung up during the seventies, notably the 
Slayton, of Chicago, and the Antrim Entertainment Bureau, of Philadelphia. 
During the next decade they came into existence over night, and now there 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 31 

are over one hundred and fifty bureaus, large and small, as compared to three 
in 1870. A half dozen of the largest of these book over 3,000 dates apiece 
each winter. Eighteen thousand lectures, readings and entertainments given 
througliout the country every winter ! And in addition there are all the other 
one hundred and forty-four Bureaus to be heard from, besides the many 
engagements which are made without any Bureau assistance. It seems as 
though the numbers must run up into the hundreds of thousands. 

And this is entirely irrespective of nearly four hundred Chautauqua 
Assemblies which now exist, of the thousands of lectures which are given 
yearly in University Extension courses, and of the other thousands which arc 
annually provided by the Boards of Education of New York and other cities 
desirous of educating their citizens beyond the narrow limits of a school-room. 
It may be, and has been, objected that these last two institutions, at least, 
are not in any way a part of the Lyceum, and it is true that both speakers and 
methods of work are apt to be somewhat dissimilar from those employed in the 
Lyceum " proper," yet in their great, central idea, the education and inspira 
tion of the people, these institutions are one with the Lyceum, and should 
be given brief space in a sketch of the latter. 

The free lecture course of ISTew York City was established, according to 
"The J^ation," in 1888, through the influence of Commissioner Miles O'Brien. 
That year two hundred lectures were given at six centers; ten years later 
there were forty-five centers and two thousand lectures, and in 1903 over 
1,200,000 people of Greater New York attended the lectures arranged by the 
Board of Education. Why are these lectures so wonderfully popular? 
Because they are absolutely democratic, and because they give the people 
what they want and are asking for in physiology, natural science, travel, his- 
tory, art, literature, social science and matters of municipal interest. New 
York's experiment has proved a success and well worthy of imitation. Within 
the last few years, in fact, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Milwaukee and 
other cities have followed in her train, and it is to be hoped that still others 
will join the grand procession. 

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION. 

As for the UniA'ersity Extension movement, that was imported from 
England in 1890, by Provost Pepper, of the University of Pennsylvania. 
Uncertain how the experiment would turn out, the first course of lectures, 
a series on chemistry, was given in Roxborough, a little suburb of Philadel- 



32 WEO'Fi WHO IN TEE LYCEUM. 

phia. The Roxboroiighans approved, and the American Society for Uni- 
versity Extension was at once organized, on December 23d, 1890. The idea 
was eagerly seized upon, and many colleges, large and small, attempted to 
increase their influence, presenting series of lectures on various topics, — 
science, art, history, literature, etc. In nearly every case, however, as at 
Leland Stanford and the Universities of New York and California, the plan 
was soon given up entirely, simply for lack of lecturers. The American 
Society, already mentioned, and the University of Chicago, alone seem to 
Lave solved the problem, having collected each a staff of lecturers, whose 
main business it is to lecture for the University Extension. And right here 
is a good place to quote Edward Everett Hale's statement that the University 
Extension of to-day is almost exactly the Lyceum of the past. In truth, it 
bears a much stronger resemblance to the platform of old than does the 
present Lyceum. Nothing but lectures on an Extension course, the lectures 
always educational, humorous only by mistake or by accident, and usually given 
in series, — these three characteristics of the old Lyceum are reproduced 
almost exactly in University Extension. And so the old Lyceum in the guise 
of University Extension has once more taken firm root in the land. During 
the eleventh year after the work began, the Chicago and Philadelphia Associa- 
tions presented to the people very nearly one thousand lectures each, while 
the number given now is far in advance of this. As W. T. Stead has well said, 
" University Extension is the University on wheels," 

THE WOEK OF CHAUTAUQUA ASSEMBLIES. 

As to the Chautauqua, — well, to quote the late Sam Jones, "We are 
not religious enough to run a camp meeting, and county fairs are no longer 
popular; so we organize a Chautauqua.'' And yet the gTcat Chautauqua 
movement started in a training school for Sunday School teachers, which 
held its first meeting at Lake Chautauqua, N. Y,, August, 1874, under the 
direction of Bishop John H. Vincent and Lewis Miller, as the Chautauqua 
Sunday School Association. Designed at first only for the study of the 
Bible and of such things as would directly assist in teaching the Bible, its 
idea gradually expanded to cover general education for out-of-school people. 
Now for ten weeks each year at Chautauqua Institution, N. Y., there are, 
besides the Bible study, classes in nearly every branch of learning, kinder- 
garten, gymnasium, athletic sports, lectures, entertainments, — ^nearly every- 
thing, it would seem. And it is this Chautauqua Summer Assembly as an 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 33 

ideal which is copied in greater or less degree by all the various Chautauquas 
of the country, whether their yearly term of existence is one week or onje 
month. All have lectures, preferably instructive or inspiring, entertainments 
of the better class, Bible study, and as many others of the characteristic fear 
tures as the differences of time and place will allow. It is a school for people 
out of school. True, the instruction lasts, at most, but for a month, or two, 
but the intellectual stimulus given to reading and thought afterwards may 
uplift and inspire a whole community. 

We are told of a certain Western city which had a rather poor minister. 
However, the people were well enough satisfied with him until they founded 
a Chautauqua and developed under its stimulus. But the minister didn't, 
and it was not long before he became so unsatisfactory that he had to leave 
the town. And the mental growth in this place is only a sample of that in 
many others. 

The Chautauqua Assembly, like the Lyceum, has come to stay. Last 
summer nearly four hundred Assemblies were held, and every issue of the 
Lyceum magazines gives accounts of the incorporation of others. It may 
seem an odd thing, perhaps, that this movement is most flourishing in the 
Central West and in the South rather than in supposedly cultured New Eng- 
land. The truth is, however, that Iowa and Illinois are much more like old 
New England than New England itself is now. " Westward the course of 
Chautauquas takes its way," and last summer, while Iowa numbered perhaps 
sixty Chautauquas, Illinois forty, Indiana twenty, and Ohio twenty-five, all 
New England could not muster ten. In the South, too, the Chautauqua idea 
has found an eager acceptance, and nowhere in the Union are there more 
enterprising or better-conducted Assemblies than are scattered all through 
the territory south of Mason and Dixon's line. 

Of the Chautauqua idea President Roosevelt has said: "I know of nothing 
in the whole country which is so filled with blessing for the nation." " Except 
the Lyceum courses," he might have added, for the two go hand in hand. 
Both absolutely popular and democratic in their origin and working out, they 
represent and reflect the thought of the day as does no other movement. Here 
the great questions of our time are discussed before audiences open to convio- 
tion, yet who will weigh every statement made, and here the man with a 
message for people w^ho think may most quickly reach those people. The 
Chautauqua and Lyceum platforms, " one and inseparable," have become the 
gTeat forum of America, one of the greatest educational influences of our 
time, and a sure bulwark of our democracy.

THE LYCEUM TO-MOKROW. 

Before leaving these fertile acres of the Lyceum field historic, and while 
the spirit of divination seems abroad, stand on any one of these mountain 
peaks and look. You are not a prophet ? Yerj well, yet may you be a seer. 
What see you? What of the future of the Lyceum? 

To what issue point all these fingers of vision, all the Lyceum signs of 
the times? 

Professor James, of Hai'vard, standing on Mount Philosophy, in his cur- 
rent lectureship — Lowell Institute, 1906 — discussing " Pragmatic Philos- 
ophy," makes implicitly but little more than a fresh appeal in behalf of the 
scientific method. We may go with him, even though we recognize that he 
does not go to the end of his quest. We may ignore for the nonce the truth 
that pragmatic philosophy is itself unpragmatic by as much as it pronounces 
a priori judgments, and in that it denies, or doubts, or ignores all pragmatic 
values in idealistic verities; and yet, at the same time we may reasonably and 
piously salute pragmatic philosophy in its apotheosis of common sense ; in our 
"mental attitude towards the material universe, its mysteries and their signifi- 
cance. Common sense gives us trustworthy — if not the only trustworthy — 
points of observation and of experiment. » 

CORONATION OF COMMON SENSE. 

Unquestionably — from our Mount of Vision we may clearly see it — 
unquestionably the Lyceum of to-day st-ands, and the Lyceum of to-morrow 
"svill stand, for the coronation of this plain common sense of the people, and 
for the annunciation and for the defense of fact, of truth, of reality, of actual 
human experience. Its platform is as broad as human thought, and as free 
as the air. And upon it there shall yet be won the most signal victories of 
political cleanness, of civic righteousness, of educational sanity, of ethical and 
social justice, yea, of religious freedom.

HOW TO ORGANIZE AND MANAGE A LYCEUM COURSE. 

BY LAURENCE TOM KERSEY. 



D 



O organize and successfully manage a lyceuin course, one thing is 
absolutely necessary. Things of secondary importance are numer- 
ous, but of so little consequence in comparison to this one thing that 
only a few need even be mentioned. For instance, there should be 
some sort of an auditorium that can be heated, lighted and ventilated and 
that contains some chairs or benches and a platform or stage. Within a 
radius of five or ten miles there should be people enough, in case they all 
" turn out," to comfortably fill the auditorium. A railway station, near or 
within a day's drive, is a convenience, though not an absolute necessity. If 
in this community there is already an intellectual hungering for good things 
in the lyceum, very welL If this appetite has never been known, there is the 
additional pleasure in store of creating it. If it once existed, but has been 
lost, or impaired, by the injudicious choice of food, overloading or long sus- 
tenance without a change of diet, then to properly diagnose the case, pre- 
scribe and see the normal appetite return, brings pleasure untold. Condi- 
tions of secondary importance might be multiplied in number without limit, 
but the absolute necessities for carrying on a course are limited to one thing, 
and that one thing is nothing more nor less than a man or woman. 

As to the occupation or station in life of this particular person there 
are no requirements. He or she may be the principal of schools, the cashier 
of the bank, the secretary of the Y. M. or Y. W. C. A., a clerk in the store, 
a doctor, or the pastor of a church, though he is just as likely to be a well- 
driller, a mechanic or a day laborer. He is seldom manager of the opera 
house, though there are a few notable exceptions to this rule, and he is never 
a patron of the saloon. He is generally the busiest man in to^vn. He may 
be a college graduate and he may not. He may have traveled and seen the 
benefits of the lyceum course in other places, or he may have caught his 
inspiration from reading accounts of such things by candle-light after his 
day's work is done. He is strictly honest and upright, unselfish, sympathetic, 
willing to do a lot of hard work without financial remuneration, or much out- 
ward manifestation of appreciation. He is a good judge of human nature, 



38 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

quick to see the needs and desires of liis fellows, and quick to see a way of 
satisfying them. He is alert to all just criticism, but not sensitive to it. Hav- 
ing carefully considered a proposition and decided to undertake it, he knows 
no such word as fail. He must have an ideal. He is not merely a visionary 
character, this ideal manager, existing in imagination only. He is a real man 
or woman, and is living in almost every city, town and village in America. 
Find him, and the problem of a lyceum course is solved. 

THE OBJECT OF A COURSE. 

Before proceeding with the organization of a course the ideal manager 
will probably seriously consider the following questions : 

What is the object of a lyceum course ? 

What is there to do in running one ? 

How can it be done ? 

The object of a course should be mutual benefit — the greatest good to 
the gTcatest number. Two things are to be done — a course is to be selected, 
and season tickets enough to pay for it are to be sold. There are two ways 
of doing a thing. One is to do it yourself, the other is to get some one else 
to do it for you. The man or woman who combines these two methods 
selects a few capable, congenial associates and says, " Come on," has the thing 
already half done. 

To successfully manage a lyceum course often takes more time and 
effort than any one individual cares to devote to the cause, and whenever he 
undertakes to realize a profit from running a course, the fundamental prin- 
ciple upon which the course is supposed to be founded — mutual benefit — is 
likely to be lost sight of. H the course is to be run for financial gain it then 
becomes merely a commercial enterprise, and, like the theater, will succeed 
or fail financially, according to the drawing power of the attractions. As 
the vital factors in a lyceum course have less drawing power than those less 
vital, the quahty of the course is likely, sooner or later, to deteriorate. 

SELECTING A COMMITTEE. 

Generally speaking, a man takes less interest, feels less responsibility, 
and puts less of his individuality into a cause if acting as a member of a 
committee than if acting alone. But a committee, composed of several indi- 
viduals, a little better represents the various interests of a community, is a 
little less apt to be influenced by a desire for financial gain, can a little better .1 1 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 39 

afford to do the work to be done, gives the course a little more popularity 
and is more likely to make of it a permanent annual feature. 

There are many ways of selecting a committee, which fact no doubt 
accounts for many of the lyceum course failures. 

A meeting of all citizens interested in a course may be called to make 
the selection. Selections made at such times are generally made without 
much knowledge of or regard to the adaptability of the individuals selected, 
or to the work to be accomplished. However, at this meeting something less 
than a dozen people are likely to assemble, and if the prime mover in the 
enterprise is discouraged by this seeming lack of interest, it is evident that 
he has missed his calling and should proceed no farther as a manager. Sup- 
pose a coal dealer should call a meeting on some hot evening in July of all 
those interested in coal, and then lay in a supply for the winter according to 
the interest manifested at that meeting! 

A list of guarantors may be secured, each agreeing to share equally in 
any loss which may result from running the course. Each signer being finan- 
cially interested thus becomes a supporter of the course. A committee may 
be selected by and from these signers. But imless some one makes it his 
business to see to it that enough season tickets are sold to pay for the course, 
there will be a loss, and these guarantors cannot be induced to continue for 
more than a year or two. 

The Young People's Society of some church — or, better yet, the socie- 
ties of the various churches — may organize a committee, but by the time 
such an organization is perfected and ready to act, some one has done work 
enough to have established a course by some more direct means. 

In a city, some society, club, organization or association having a well- 
established reputation for something other than that of raising money " for 
the benefit of " something, is an excellent medium through which to manage 
a course. 

The principal of the high, school, assisted by his pupils, can make a 
course exceedingly popular. 

The best and most business-like method by which the man who has 
undertaken the organization of a course can proceed, is to select a few con- 
genial associates, choosing each with special reference to the thing that that 
particular individual is to do, just as he would make his selections if he were 
organizing an orchestra or a baseball team. In launching out in a commer- 
cial line a man doesn't call the citizens of the town together to select a part- 



40 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

ner for him, evf;n though he does hope to get their patronage later on. This 
group of workers — the smaller the better — should settle upon a clearly- 
defined object and policy, which should be made known to the public. They 
should fill their own vacancies and hold office for life, or during good 
behavior. 

If there is anything more to be desired than a committee thus organ- 
ised, consisting of live, active, enthusiastic, soulful persons w^ho can work 
together harmoniously, it is a lyceum course association that is incorporated, 
or better yet, a course that is endowed and at home in its own Lyceum Hall; 
and even then such a committee as that just mentioned is of the greatest 
importance. 

Upon the committee rests the fate of the course. ISTo less important than 
a place on the school board is a place on the lyceum course committee. If 
permanency is a feature to be desired in the lyceum course, a place on the 
committee is of far greater importance, for the school is supported by taxes 
which must be paid, and its permanency is assured, while the lyceum course 
is maintained by money paid voluntarily, and the course dies when it ceases 
to be popular. 

The lyceum course has been pointed out as the People's Col- 
lege — as the prime factor in the supplementary education of the 
public. Supplementary education is about the only education a 
large percentage of the people get after the age of fourteen. The 
lyceum course committee then holds in its grasp the education of the 
people. The man or woman who does not appreciate this fact, and is not 
impressed by his responsibility, has no business on a committee. The commit- 
teeman who fully comprehends the relation that he, by virtue of his position, 
holds to the moral and intellectual interests of the community in which he 
lives, will avail himself of every opportunity of becoming qualified for the 
position. He will study the local conditions, tastes and requirements. He 
will hear as many attractions himself as possible. He will communicate with 
managers of courses in other towns, and he will read the lyceum journals 
thoroughly. The man who invests a dollar and a half in a setting of eggs, 
with a view to entering the fancy poultry business, subscribes for a poultry 
journal. Schools and colleges and universities have well-planned and care- 
fully worked-out courses of study calculated to carry out the ideal of each 
particular institution. The management of a lyceum course should have an 
ideal. Such a thing is not possible if the personnel of the committee changes 
each year. 



WHO'8 WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 41 



SELECTING A COURSE. 



The selection of a course is a great responsibility. It should be made 
■with a good deal of deliberation, and after exhausting all of the reasonable 
methods of arriving at the truth as to what attractions are best suited to the 
particular audience before which they are to be brought. The traveling 
representative of some reputable lyceum bureau is, or ought to be, the com- 
mitteeman's best friend and adviser. This statement has no reference to the 
man who goes out one or two days a week for four or five weeks a year to 
replenish his salary by commissions on a few courses he hopes to sell during 
his summer vacation. It has reference to the intelligent, well-educated man 
or woman, who has been, is and expects to continue representing some repu- 
table bureau, who knows the attractions of the lyceum in general, not merely 
the names and prices of those on his own list, who goes to the same towns 
year after year, and expects to be back again next year. He talks with hun- 
dreds of committeemen and gets their testimonials and ratings direct as to 
the merits of various attractions under various conditions. He hears and 
knows personally many of the men and women on the platform. The com- 
mittee has a chance to become personally acquainted with him, and to learn 
what estimate can be placed upon all his statements. 

It is better to buy one good one than six or eight " just as good attrac- 
tions." One lecture may give the lyceum movement in a locality an 
impetus which will cause it to live forever. One course of six or eight or 
ten " pulpit exchanges,'' and amateur musicians and entertainers purporting 
to be given as a lyceum course, may kill it for years. It isn't from an encyclo- 
pedia or an unabridged dictionary that the public gets its definition of the 
terms lecture and lyceum. It's from the first lecture, concert or entertain- 
ment on a lyceum course, or from the lyceum course as a whole, advertised 
and given as such that this definition comes. 

To overcome the popular opinion as to what a lecture really is — an 
impression gained by having listened to talks, extra long and extra dry, given 
under the guise of lectures " for the benefit of " something, by some one who 
really has nothing to say — is often the greatest difficulty the committee has 
to contend with in establishing a course. 

If a course the best suited to local conditions is to be chosen, notify 
two or three or four of the leading lyceum bureaus operating in your terri- 
tory of the fact and await results. Advise these bureaus not to send a repre- 
sentative too far out of his way to see you immediately, as you do not intend 



42 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

to do anything rasli — then don't. If in response you receive a telegram from 
some representative requesting that you have a committee meeting for him 
at a certain hour, have it. And have every member of the committee there. 
Don't meet him with the chilling shock that a few of you will look over his 
list and report to the others. That's an insult to him. You might as well 
carry the principle a little farther, and instead of running a course yourselves 
send a few of your citizens to a neighboring town to hear a lecturer, and let 
them report to those of you who didn't go. 

The committeeman who, instead of going to the committee meetings, 
repeatedly sends word, " Go ahead; whatever you do will be all right with 
me," should be dropped from the committee at the first opportunity. Com- 
mittees running lyceum courses should carry no excess baggage. The mem- 
ber who, instead of going, sends word, " Take no action until I see you," 
should be dropped on the spot. It's well for a wagon to have a rub-lock some- 
where in the vicinity of the hind wheels to be used in case of emergency, but 
to have all four of the wheels tied, when the horses are hitched ready to pull, 
is bad. 

Discuss matters very freely with this representative, and get from him 
all the information possible on every phase of the lyceum course problem, 
and especially upon the attractions he has to offer. Outline several combina- 
tions which seem the best suited to your condition, then say to him that you 
will make your decision soon after seeing the representatives of other bureaus 
to which you wrote. This last statement he will regret to hear you make, 
and if he is an experienced representative he will make it hard for you to 
make it. But while he regrets to hear this statement from you, he is thank- 
ful that some other committee is making the same statement to some one of 
his competitors. He will then try to get you to promise not to contract until 
he sees you again. Better not make any such promise. He could thus delay 
your action all summer. 

Treat every other representative exactly as you have treated this one. 
Do not quote either the prices, the attractions offered, or the statements of 
one representative to another. Do not encourage knocking. Do not make 
many promises as to what you will do, or just when you will do it; but those 
promises you make, keep. Promises made to the traveling representative of 
a lyceum bureau should be kept as faithfully as any other promises you ever 
make. And when you contract for a course stand by that contract as you 
would by one made in any other line of business. Bureau managers and their 



WHO'S WHO IN TEE LYCEUM. 43 

representatives are sometimes not as honorable as they should be, but they 
will be more honorable when ministers, Y. M. C. A. secretaries, Young Peo- 
ple's Society presidents, and business men with whom they deal, set them a 
better example. Notifying a lyceum bureau that you intend to run a lyceum 
course does not in any way obligate you to buy when the representative calls, 
but sending a bureau such a notification does obligate you to give the rep- 
resentative, when he comes, the undivided attention of every member of the 
committee for a reasonable length of time. The time and money he spends 
in coming to see you is not in payment for a contract, but for the best possible 
opportunity of favorably impressing you with the attractions he has to offer. 

When all representatives have been seen the committee should meet and 
carefully consider all propositions. When a selection has been made all 
bureaus that have been represented should be notified immediately. Not only 
the fact that a course has been contracted for, but the names of the attrac- 
tions selected should be reported. Managers like to keep a record of all 
courses, and this bit of information is certainly due them in return for the 
visit made by their representative. 

Setting a date on which a course is to be bought, and notifying all 
bureaus of that fact, unless the notification is sent well in advance of the 
date, often conflicts with plans already made by the representatives, and when 
the meeting occurs gives each one only a small fraction of the time he needs 
to present his list, i^nd unless the committee is exceptionally well posted, 
looking over three or four lists of attractions, and selecting the course best 
suited to their needs, is more than the work of one confusing session. Since 
the traveling representative is probably the best source through which to get 
all information concerning available attractions, prices, approximate dates, 
etc., see him first, then using your best judgment, together with all the infor- 
mation you can possibly get from all sources, select the course. Be very 
careful about trying an unknown attraction. Be equally careful about trying 
one that everybody knows and wants to hear lecture on account of what he 
has done in some other line. In advertising an unknown attraction be as 
cautious about your advertising as you were in accepting that attraction. 

SELLING TICKETS. 

The methods of selling the required number of season tickets may be 
classified under two heads. One is to proceed upon the basis that the under- 
taking may fail unless liberal support is given. The other is to proceed upon 



44 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

the basis that as the auditorium is not large enough to seat more than half, 
or a third, or one-hundredth, or one-thousandth of the population of the 
town, as the case may be, a lot of people are liable to miss a mighty good 
thing. There is, however, a third method which is a pretty safe one to 
adopt. Proceeding in the spirit of the second, begin early and take advan- 
tage of all the precautions of the first. Do not beg people to take tickets. If 
a man offers to take one ticket to five or ten good lectures, concerts and 
entertainments at the ridiculously low price that is usually offered, " just to 
help you out," refuse it on the ground that you have no authority thus to 
place yourselves and the whole lyceum course movement of the town under 
obligations to him. Do not urge people to take tickets " to help build a side- 
walk or a pipe organ." " Save the tag and wrapper " methods may be good 
in the sale of tobacco and soap, but they should not be resorted to in the 
management of lyceum courses. A lyceum course is supposed to be run for 
the intellectual benefit of the community, but who would suspect such a 
thing if the committee continually advertises the fact that it is being run to 
carpet or fresco a church ? Bring the public to a full realization of the fact 
that the person who buys a ticket and hears the attractions on a course then 
and there gets all and more than he paid for, and tickets will be sought after. 
But while the course is represented as a tool to be used by some improve- 
ment society, tickets will go begging. The public in general doesn't become 
enthusiastic over a tack hammer or a paint brush. Cut loose all " for the 
benefit of " shackles that have already too long held the lyceum course in 
servitude and disrepute. 

The greatest need of the Lyceum to-day is publicity, of the proper sort. 
The newspapers and magazines are the proper channels through which to 
create it. Those directly interested are the proper ones to outline the material 
for the newspapers and magazines. The men and women on the platform are 
directly interested, but they are, or have been until recently, furnishing prac- 
tically nothing in this line, — but that's oft' the subject. 

ADVERTISING THE COURSE. 

Use the newspapers liberally and pay for their use. The man who earns 
his daily bread by running a newspaper does not run soap advertisements 
free. Why should he run ads. for a lyceum course free ? In both instances 
the article advertised is for the good of the community. Use a liberal 
amount of advertising space, and he will gladly print all the interesting write- 



WHO'8 WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 45 

Tips and news items you furnish him. To give the course sufficient publicity 
the Lj'^ceum in all its various phases should be kept before the public the year 
around, not in a forced, paid-for sort of way, but in an interesting, enlighten- 
ing manner. When a course has been contracted for publish that fact imme- 
diately as an important news item. Make prominent mention of the various 
attractions selected. The public should become interested in knowing who 
and what is to be heard on next year's lyceum course. The mere fact that 
there is to be a course is old. No new enthusiasm can be created over this. 
Watch the newspaper exchanges and the lyceum journals for things of 
interest concerning the Lyceum in general, and any attraction in particular 
that has been, or is to be, on your course. Quote these items or articles in 
your local papers. Furnish the lyceum journals with articles of interest con- 
cerning your course, and when these articles come back to you enhanced in 
value by their appearance in these journals quote them in the home papers. 

The time to begin the active, vigorous advertising campaign depends 
somewhat upon the method to be employed in selling the season tickets. 
However, it's doubtful if an effort to arouse public interest to its highest in 
midsummer, over something that is not to take place until winter, is wise. 
If the " If you don't it may fail " method is to be employed, let that be carried 
on by a " still hunt " campaign, before much newspaper advertising is done. 
Do not try to sell tickets by advertising the fact that the thing may fail. To 
try to scare people into a good thing, on the plea that they may miss it, or 
get something a good deal worse, is going out of use. Even evangelists are 
dropping this method. 

The opening of an advertising campaign, like the opening of a big mass 
meeting, is often best announced by the sound of the gavel. The gavel to use 
in the advertising line is a large display advertisement ; the larger the better 
— preferably a full page in the newspapers. But this should not be sounded 
until some one is ready with something to say. This full-page display should 
contain cuts and names of the various attractions, the dates, prices of tickets 
and plenty of white space. It may be run in two or three succeeding issues, 
and it can, at small cost, be rim on heavy cardboard sheets to be placed in 
windows and on bulletin boards. Immediately following the appearance of 
this display advertisement the papers should be well supplied with reading 
articles, giving definite, discriminating information concerning the various 
attractions, and what each may be expected to do. To give these articles and 
their importance greater emphasis, have them set in bold type, running across 



46 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

the entire page, under a conspicuous heading, discussing only one attraction 
in each article. Do not expect the editor of the paper to prepare these 
articles. Ask the bureaus for them. If they cannot supply them write to 
the various attractions, in care of the bureau booking them, for such infor- 
mation. The probabilities are that neither the bureau nor the attraction has 
anything to send you, but they should each be impressed that there exists a 
great demand. The poorest material with which newspaper space can pos- 
sibly be filled is the stereotyped, undated, unreliable testimonials and com- 
ments that are found in the lyceum circulars. Rather than copy these 
interview the local liveryman, butcher, banker or school teacher who hap- 
pened to see and hear the coming attraction at some other town recently, then 
publish this interview. 

On a large cardboard mat, 30x40 inches — the same can be secured in 
various colors at a furniture store — arrange artistically a group of the attrac- 
tions, using the cuts clipped from the advance circulars, a few of which can 
always be secured from the bureaus. In large, plain letters, at the top of this 
group, place the name of the course and the price of season tickets. The 
heading used in the full-page newspaper advertisement can be appropriated 
here. Frame this display and place it in some attractive and conspicuous 
window. Make and use as many of these as seems advisable. 

A day or two after the first display advertisement appears place in every 
home — not under the sidewalk, or in a sewer, or on the lawn or porch, but in 
the hands of some member of the family — a prospectus of the course. This 
prospectus can be made at little expense by binding together the circulars of 
the various attractions, using an attractive cover — these are furnished by all 
bureaus at small cost — on which should be printed the dates, prices of season 
and single tickets and reserves, the time and method of reserving seats, a 
statement of the policy or the plan on which the course is being run, and the 
number of season tickets there are for sale. Just inside the front cover of 
this prospectus bind a card on which is printed an order for season tickets, 
to be filled out, signed, detached, stamped and mailed to the committee, 
stating the number of tickets wanted. Articles in all newspapers should call 
attention to this prospectus that is being distributed, and to the importance 
of signing and returning the card in order that the number of tickets wanted 
will be saved. These booklets should be distributed either by mail, or by car- 
riers under the personal direction of the committee, one being placed in every 
home in which there is a possibility of selling a season ticket. A record

should be kept of those to whom a prospectus was sent, and during the 
canvass every person who has not sent in an order for tickets should be seen. 
The real object of all this advertising is to create an interest that will 
result in selling, or rather in somebody's buying enough season tickets to pay 
the contract price of the course. The single admissions will generally pay 
the local expenses. If to sell these season tickets a personal canvass is neces- 
sary, then make a personal canvass, for the season tickets must be sold. And 
make it just at the time the advertising has aroused the greatest interest. A 
systematic, vigorous campaign should be planned. Divide the city or town 
into districts. Appoint a committee to take charge of the listing in each dis- 
trict. On a given day let all committees begin work. The committee doing 
the listing should be composed of persons adapted to this sort of work, and 
they should invariably go in twos or threes, on the theory that one can 
" chase a thousand and two put ten thousand to flight." The names of sub- 
scribers and the number of tickets subscribed for, also the names of those 
who refuse to subscribe, should be reported each day to the manager of the 
course. This list of subscribers published in the papers is excellent advertis- 
ing — ^the new names being added each day. When the canvass has been 
completed and the season ticket limit reached, issue in an attractive booklet 
form, " vest pocket size," a list of " Patrons of the Lyceum Course," giving 
the names, alphabetically arranged, of all subscribers and the number of 
tickets they take. This booklet, containing also names and dates of all 
attractions on the course should be placed in the hands of every subscriber 
and of every person who should have subscribed, but didn't. The best time 
to advertise a thing is when that thing has been completely sold out, provided, 
of course, that it will be on sale again some time in the future, no matter how 
far distant. One " Standing Room Only " sign will arouse more interest 
than the most urgent and pitiful plea to " turn out for the benefit of " that 
was ever written. In planning the advertising campaign limit the number of 
season tickets to be sold to some number, a number as large as there is any 
reasonable probability of being able to reach, and then advertise the fact that 
only so many season tickets will be sold, with the emphasis on the only. Then 
do not oversell this number under any consideration. But when the number 
has been reached advertise that fact and furnish a printed list of the sub- 
scribers to substantiate it. Upon this personal canvass depends the financial 
success of the majority of lyceum courses. Without it all other effort and 
advertising is lost, except in places where the course, by long-continued sue- 



48 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

cessful management, has become so universally popular that the soliciting for 
season tickets is done by the individuals who want to buy them. To bring 
about this condition of affairs should be one of the objects of every committee. 
As long as the committee continues, however, to make a personal visit year 
after year to every prospective ticket buyer, to ascertain if he will take a 
ticket again (please), and then another visit to deliver the ticket, together 
with a bundle of thanks for the paltry sum received for said ticket, the public 
is likely to remain just a little skeptical as to whether the attractions on the 
course are really worth the price asked for tickets. Unfortunately, the man- 
agement of this lyceum business got started wrong end to. If the same 
amount of time, effort and brain work had from the beginning been expended 
in trying to create unconsciously in the public a knowledge of, and a desire 
for, lyceum attractions, that has been spent in begging said public to buy 
tickets, the lyceum would now occupy a more dignified place than it does. 
How did the world's greatest actors, musicians and writers gain their popu- 
larity — by a personal canvass ? If the life of the lyceum must depend upon a 
personal canvass each year for tickets its doom is already in sight. Those 
without personality and influence cannot do such work successfully, and those 
busy, influential men and women who could do it are not going to continue 
subjecting themselves to the rebuff's, to say nothing of the insults, from their 
friends and business associates, who begin to class them as professional can- 
vassers. When the lyceum public consents to be influenced by gray matter 
rather than by shoe leather the most capable men and women will consent to 
continue managing lyceum courses. 

OTHER DISPLAY ADVERTISING. 

A few days before the appearance of each attraction put up the litho- 
graphs or window cards of that attraction. On these should be printed — 
invariably printed, not stamped or scribbled (the management of the local 
lyceum course may be on the very verge of bankruptcy, but to advertise this 
fact in " long hand " on the lithographs is unnecessary) — on tliese lithographs 
print the date and hour of the performance, the price of single admissions, 
also the price of season tickets, thus calling attention to the fact that this 
attraction is one of a series or course. Post these lithographs, or cards, as 
conspicuously as possible, saving a few to be used on the dsij of the per- 
formance. 

Until the obnoxious bill-board has been relegated to the happy dumping 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 49 

ground, brighten it occasionally with the lithograph of a lyceum attraction — 
not one lithograph only, but with twenty of the same one. One lithograph 
of the greatest living lecturer, such as the lithographs furnished by the 
lyceum bureaus, would stand no show beside the lithographs of dead men 
furnished by the manufacturers of certain brands of cigars, soap, clothing and 
chewing gum. Arrange eight, ten or twenty lithographs of the same attrac- 
tion in a well-proportioned group on a conspicuous bill-board, leaving narrow, 
uniform spaces between them, and space in the center of the group for one 
large, conspicuous date sheet. 

Contemporaneously with this special lithograph work the papers should 
contain articles concerning this attraction in particular. State as definitely 
as possible what may be expected of it. Do not advertise it as humorous if it 
isn't. If it's to be an entertainment don't call it a lecture. Advertise the 
fact, not that so-and-so is the greatest lecturer, entertainer or singer on the 
American platform, but rather the fact that so-and-so is to lecture, entertain 
or sing in your town — and state which he is to do. State this fact so often, 
and in so many ways, that the fact that he is worth hearing will come to the 
public unconsciously. Mr. Dooley says people will believe anything if you 
tell it to them often enough. In all advertising concerning the lyceum course 
tell the truth, and in the future fewer tellings will sufiice. 

On the day that the attraction is to arrive, place on the street corners, 
in front of the hotels, and in as many places as possible, small bulletin boards 
on which is pasted a lithograph of the attraction to appear that evening. At 
the top of this lithograph should be a " To-]S[ight " bill — a clean, fresh one, 
not one that has been doing service every night since a year ago last January. 
These bulletin boards should be gathered up late that evening and saved for 
the next attraction. 

On all menu cards, if the tcMTi is large enough to have hotels with such 
luxuries, have printed " So-and-So at the Opera House to-night." 

Offer prizes to high school pupils for the best write-ups of the attractions 
as they come along. Then publish three or four of these in the papers each 
time. This furnishes excellent practice for the pupils, and their productions 
will create interest in the community. The manufacturer of a certain brand 
of flour recently offered $300.00 in cash prizes to boys and girls for the best 
articles on flour and bread. If boys and girls can help interest the public in a 
certain brand of flour, by writing articles about it, they can surely help to 
popularize a lyceum course. 



50 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 



l^ext to the importance of putting up attractive display advertising 
before an attraction comes is the importance of tearing it down after that 
attraction has gone. An uncleared table spoils the appetite for the next 
meal. 

There are two things with which all advertising should be filled as full 
as possible — truth and originality. 

FOKM OF TICKETS. 



Concerning season tickets : If the course is to be given in an auditorium 
for which regular " house tickets " are not provided, and if seats are to be 
reserved for the entire season, the following form is simple : 



1906 1907 

ACADEMY LYCEUM COURSE 



SEASON TICKET 



Name of Town 

PRICE 



ADMIT ONE 



Date Name of Attraction 

Date Name of Attraction 

Date Name of Attraction 

Date Name of Attraction 

Date Name of Attraction 



SECTION ROW 



SEAT. 



These tickets should be punched as they are presented for admission 
at the door. This prevents their being passed out and used again on the same 
evening. If the number of attractions on the course is too great to enable 
tte names to be printed, as indicated in this form, let the name of the course, 
the price, the place for the reserving, etc., occupy one side, and on the other 
side print crosswise on the card the names and dates of the attractions, with 
the place for the punch mark opposite each. 

If seats are to be reserved for each attraction separately, use the same 
form as above indicated, except that section, row and seat should be left 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 51 

off. This ticket is to be sold as the regular season ticket and exchanged or 
punched when the reserving takes place. Have printed as many sets of 
reserved seat single admission tickets as there are attractions on the course. 
Each of these should contain the name of the course, and each set the name 
and date of the attraction for which it is to be used. Single admission tickets 
are needed for each attraction any way, and a few hundred extra cost but 
little more. Have all these sets printed at the same time, and it is a simple 
matter for the printer to change the name and date of the attraction on each 
set. Then to get reserved seats the patrons of the course ])resent their season 
ticket cards, which are punched, and a single reserved seat ticket issued for 
that attraction. 

If seats are to be reserved for the entire season the card ticket should 
be taken up and a set of the single admission reserved seat tickets issued in 
exchange. These tickets should be bound in sets before the reserving begins; 
then after season ticket holders have had a chance to reserve, any sets that 
remain unsold can be taken apart and the tickets used for the single ticket 
sales. 

A card ticket, containing as many coupons for reserving as there are 
attractions on the course, is rather bunglesome, and is likely to become broken 
before the end of the season. To issue to the public tickets with blank spaces 
in which the reservations are afterwards to be indicated is unwise. The plan 
of issuing a card ticket to be presented and punched, or exchanged for a 
reserved seat ticket, is in all cases advisable. 

If the auditorium to be used has regular " house tickets," issue a season 
ticket card, bind these " house tickets " into sets, and follow the plan already 
described. On these " house tickets " should be printed the name and date 
of the attraction for which each is to be used. 

If to be able to have some method of " checking up " with the man in 
the box office is desired, and such is not only wise but business-like, issue as 
season tickets a set of coupons bound together, and on each coupon print not 
only the name and date of the attraction for which it is to be used, but also 
the following : " Present this coupon for admission to the gallery, or 
exchange it and — (state the amount), at the box office after — (hour and 
date of reserving) for reserved seat ticket. Then in settling with the man in 
the box office charge him with the regular single admission price of every 
" house ticket " not in the ticket board, just as is done in a regular " box 
office settlement," and give him credit on every season ticket coupon he holds 



62 WHO'S WHO IN THE LTCEUM. 

for the difference between the single admission price of a " house ticket " 
and the price of the coupon taken in exchange for that ticket. 

EESERVING SEATS, 

To find a plan of reserving seats that will please everybody is impossi- 
ble. To keep trying is as foolish as to waste time trying to discover per- 
petual motion. The method that comes nearer it than any other is this: 
Strike upon the least objectionable method you know of and stick to it until 
people forget there is any other way of selecting a reserved seat. The regu- 
lar patrons of the theater do not continually grumble about the method of 
reserving seats. Why? Because the method used at the theater has been 
in use so long no one thinks of there being any other way. As long as the 
committee remains in the experimental stage, and advertises that fact by 
changing methods every year, there will be fault-finding. The fault-finders 
all have methods they think are better than those yet tried. 

In all matters pertaining to the management of a lyceum course adopt, 
or rather adapt, the method that seems best suited to the local conditions and 
stick to it year after year, regardless of a few criticisms and complaints. 

The most important thing in connection with any method of reserving 
seats is that the first man, woman or child in the " line up " shall be able to 
secure just the seat he wishes to select. In other words, the reserved seat 
plat should not " open " with three, eight or fifteen seats already checked oS. 
Unless the theatrical method of " lining up " is followed, that of reserving 
in the order indicated by numbers drawn is simple and quite satisfactory. 
More explicitly stated, the method is as follows : Advertise that the reserv- 
ing will take place at some auditorium; that the doors will be open at a certain 
hour, and that the reserving will take place one-half hour later; also, that the 
last person to enter the auditorium, provided he gets in before the drawing 
takes place, will stand just as good a chance as the first person in. Admit no 
one unless he holds at least one season ticket. At the door, as people enter, 
take their names and make a record of the number of season tickets they 
hold. These season tickets might be taken up to prevent their being passed 
out and presented again and an order issued for an equal number of season 
reserved seat tickets. When the hour has arrived for reserving, place in a 
box as many numbers as there are people present and let them draw, check- 
ing off on the list made at the door the name of each person as he draws to 
prevent his coming around and drawing again. The reserving is then done in 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 53 

the order indicated by the numbers dra\vn. In no case allow any person to 
reserve a greater number of seats than the number of tickets he presented 
at the door. 

Make a large reserved seat plat that can be seen from all over the room, 
hang it in a conspicuous place, and indicate on it the reservations as they are 
made, thus enabling those waiting to watch the progress. Why not let the 
local ingenious manipulator of the stereopticon make a plate by which he 
can throw the plat of the auditorium onto a screen and indicate the reserva- 
tions. Give season-ticket holders as many advantages as possible in every 
way. Allow them to reserve the same seat for the entire season. Give them 
two or three days in which to reserve seats before selling any single reserves. 
Place the price of season tickets low and the price of single tickets high. 
Make, say, half the attractions, if paid for singly, cost the purchaser as much 
as the whole course if a season ticket is bought. Make no reduction in the 
price of season tickets during the progress of the course. The price of season 
tickets varies greatly in different parts of the country, but in any particular 
locality it should be governed by the principle that it is better to fill the house 
at a certain price than to half fill it at twice the price. 

FINAL PEEPARATIONS. 

In the organization and management of a lyceum course, choosing the 
committee, selecting the attractions, selling the season tickets, and satisfac- 
torily reserving the seats, are vital factors. They are factors the working 
out of which requires from three to six or eight months' time. And the work 
of all these three, six or eight months is at the mercy of one single day. That 
day is the day on which the lecturer or company comes. The plans, the 
work, the hopes of the committee, the expectations of the audience, fifty or 
one hundred and fifty dollars of the people's money and the ambitions of an 
artist are often blasted, temporarily at least, just as their full and complete 
realization is at hand. Why? Because it requires no effort on the part of 
anybody to do it. It's absolutely unintentional, and after it's too late it is 
regretted by everybody. It is the result of " quitting " just before the battle 
is won. It's usually done by such things as a dark, dingy, dirty, poorly-ven- 
tilated auditorium, that is either too hot or too cold, by a sack of peanuts, a 
noisy janitor, boisterous ushers, late comers, a row of children, a piano that 
is out of tune, poor hotel accommodations, the recital of too many tales of 
woe (one's too many) to the artist, failure to meet and greet him on his 



54 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

arrival, quibbling over the time of paying him, wearing him out at some 
reception, or in showing him the town— these, and those that have in this 
list been overlooked, are the things that transform as if by magic, success 
into failure. 

Why pay an artist one or two hundred dollars for one and one-half 
hour's entertainment, and then put him on a stage that's so poorly lighted 
that he can't be seen, in an auditorium that's so hot or cold or dirty or poorly 
ventilated that the audience could enjoy nothing but going home, and fur- 
nish a piano that's out of tune — why do things so inconsistent when even a 
few lamps properly arranged would light the stage, a good janitor would 
regulate the temperature of the room, and a few dollars in money would tune 
the piano and make the stage and auditorium clean? 

The auditorium should be well lighted, and the stage should be bril- 
liantly lighted; but all lights should be so arranged and shaded that the light 
does not shine directly into the eyes of the audience. This is of greatest 
importance. 

People who have bought tickets and come to see and hear the man on 
the platform have just about one and one-half hours in which to get what 
they came for. From the way some janitors poke the fire, some ushers 
parade up and down the aisles, and some late-comers deliberately crowd into 
their seats, one would suppose they had ail winter for it. 

Advertise that the performance will begin at a certain time, then begin 
just at that time. People soon learn whether or not your advertisements 
mean anything. At a concert those who come late should not be seated dur- 
ing a number, and in no case until the encore, also, if there be one, has been 
given. At a lecture the late comers should be seated in the rear of the room 
(future season ticket sales notwithstanding). 

If, in placing the seats in the auditorium, they were so arranged that 
there is a front row, the committee has a problem to contend with. There 
are several things for which this front row might be used. It might ser^^e 
as a sort of check room on which to place heavy overcoats, etc. If it happens 
to be a bench with a back to it, it might be taken up and placed on the front 
edge of the platform, on which to set a lot of lamps as footlights. The onlji 
one thing which it should absolutely never be used for is on which to seat a 
row of children. If the reason for this is not obvious, ask any one of the 
several thousand platform men or women of America for an explanation. 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 55 

INTEODUCING THE SPEAKER. 

Should the lecturer be introduced to the audience ? Most emphatically, 
yes! The introduction should begin about two or three weeks before he 
arrives in town, and be continued until the day of his appearance, during 
which time his face, his subject, what he has done, and what he may be 
expected to do, should be made so familiar to everybody in town that when he 
steps out before the audience no further introduction will be necessary. 
About one introduction out of every ten, perhaps, puts the speaker and the 
audience at ease with each other; the other nine, therefore, had better be 
omitted. 

When the audience is assembled to hear a certain attraction, should the 
next attraction on the course be announced and commented upon? After 
spending two or three weeks in a supreme effort to center the attention of a 
community upon a certain man, is there a reason on earth — psychological or 
otherwise — for trying just at the moment that the attention is at its height 
to divert it ? It is poor advertising policy, to say nothing of the discourtesy to 
the man in whose presence it is made. The time to announce and comment 
upon the next attraction is when it is next — not when it is next but one, and 
that one is waiting for a chance to begin, and the audience is anxiously wait- 
ing for him to get such a chance. When the guests are seated at your boun- 
tiful Thanksgiving table, with the brown, savory turkey so conspicuously in 
view, do you keep them waiting five or ten minutes to hear you tell of the 
boiled eggs you are going to have next Easter ? 

COURTESIES TOWARD TAXENT. 

Should the attractions be met at the train? Yes. But the meeting 
should not be prolonged much beyond the time necessary in which to reach 
the hotel. The object of this meeting is to demonstrate the fact that you 
have been looking forward to this day, and that you're glad it has arrived. 
On the way to the hotel point out the location of the Post Office, and the 
auditorium at which the evening's entertainment is to be given. Don't for- 
get to mention the fact to the lecturer, or manager, that you have the money 
to pay him, and find out in what form it will be the most acceptable; then pay 
him before the entertainment, according to contract, without placing him in 
the embarrassing position of having to ask for his fee, or violating his con- 
tract with the bureau that booked him by not asking for it. If his arrival is 
not until after the banks are closed alwavs have the amount in currency. If 



56 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

you expect the best from a. man help to put him at his best. To do this meet 
and greet him cordially, talk over the few things necessary, offer to do any- 
thing you can for his comfort, and then leave him alone. Do not insist on 
his being " entertained." Do not ask him to speak at a club or at the schools 
for advertising |)urposes. The best concert bands don't make street parades. 
If you want to visit with him take dinner with him at his hotel — at your own 
expense. Do not burden him with the recital of all the troubles that have 
ever come up in connection with the management of your course. Save these 
to tell to some bureau representative. Do not make him feel that his coming 
is a burden upon you and the whole town. When a guest comes to your 
home to dine with you, you do not spend the time just preceding the dinner in 
telling him of the trouble your whole family had in preparing that dinner, 
or the expense it was, and of your doubt as to whether it was really paying 
you to continue issuing such invitations. 

Before the arrival of the attraction, see the clerk or proprietor of the 
iiotel, and urge him to assign one of his best and most comfortable rooms to 
the man that's coming — which in view of the number of people brought 
■during the season by the lyceum course, he ought to be willing to do, unless 
it should happen that the bureau has asked him for a " rate," in which case 
the best cannot be expected. In making a contract for a course ask the repre- 
sentative if it is his bureau's custom to ask the hotels for a " rate." If it is, 
add three or four dollars to the contract price of the course and request him 
not to do it in your town. Tell him you are trying to convince your people — 
the hotel man included — that you are dealing with a prosperous, business- 
like concern, and that you don't want any little evidences to the contrary 
creeping out. 

IF YOU FAIL. 

If a course of five numbers, at a cost of five hundred dollars, fails to pay 
out, don't expect to do better next year with a course of only three numbers 
at two hundred and twenty-five dollars. People don't rush to get aboard a 
sinking ship. Do not hope to increase the interest in the course by dropping 
it for a year or two. Did any one ever think of closing the schools 
and letting the children play on the street, and delve into dime novels 
to increase their interest in education? Did a minister ever propose 
closing his church to allow his congregation to recuperate spiritually ? Did 
a merchant ever consider closing his place of business in order to create a 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 57 

demand for his goods ? Did a farmer ever let his farm go to weeds to enricli 
it for next year's crop ? 

It's more numbers, and a better grade, greater variety, more publicity 
and more business-like management that the lyceum courses need, not rest 
on the part of the public. 

SUPPOETINO THE COMMITTEE. 

Just a word to those who patronize lyceum courses. In every city, town 
and village there are usually a few — but never very many — capable men 
and women who are willing to assume the management of a lyceum course. 
Don't be too severe in criticizing them for what they do or don't do. Appre- 
ciation is about the only pay they get. Don't hold back their salary too long, 
or pay it too grudgingly; they may quit the job and you will be without a 
course of any kind. And it's a mighty poor course that's worse than nothing. 

If you want to get the most for your money do not go to a lecture, 
concert or entertainment in a critical mood. Such a mood affects unfavor- 
ably two persons in particular — yourself and the man on the platform, to 
say nothing of its chilling influence on those about you. Expect something 
good and thus help put the lecturer or artist at his best. If, during the day, 
the chairman of the committee should bring the lecturer to your home for a 
call you would not receive him with an icy, " please me if you can " stare. 
When this same chairman brings this same man before you for an evening's 
entertainment, why not receive him just as cordially and courteously as you 
did at your home ? Help to put him at his best, and if you want to criticise 
his manner, his voice, the cut of his clothes, what he said and the way he said 
it, save these criticisms until he has gone — just as you did when he called at 
your home. 

There is no royal road — ^no short cut — to success in the management of 
a, lyceum course. It comes from long-continued, conscientious effort; from 
keeping the fundamental principle — mutual benefit — constantly in mind. 

The dream of the lyceum course committee, the ultimate goal toward 
which all effort is directed should be a beautiful and commodious lyceum 
hall, or auditorium, with an endowed lyceum course. But who's going 
to build and endow a home for an obnoxious, omnipresent, persistent beggar 
— a course of mediocre attractions given " for the benefit of " first one thing 
and then another, but which in reality is a permanent benefit to nothing or 
nobody — not even to the beggar? 

" For unto every one that hath shall be given, but from him that hath 
not shall be taken away even that which he hath."

THE INTERNATIONAL LYCEUM ASSOCIATION 



In response to a comniiinication in " Talent," signed by Ralph Bing- 
ham, and subsequent agitation on the part of Mr. Bingham and several of 
his friends, and the hearty co-operation of the Lyceumite, a number of people 
who were interested in the Lyceum met in Steinway Hall, Chicago, on the 
2d day of September, 1903, to form an organization. The meeting was called 
to order by Dr. W. H. Sears, and a temporary organization effected, with 
Mr. Ralph Bingham as chairman. The object of the meeting was then 
explained by the chairman, and the usual committees appointed for effecting 
permanent organization. The name decided upon was the International 
Lyceum Association. The objects of the organization, according to the open- 
ing remarks by Mr. Bingham, and afterward incorporated in the constitution, 
are, to foster and promote social intercourse, and benefit the condition of the 
lyceum and its principles in such a manner as shall be determined in accord- 
ance with the by-laws. 

Three days were spent in the Convention, during which time there was 
much pleasant social intercourse, a formal banquet, and an all-star program 
in Steinway Hall. 

The officers elected for the first year were : President, Ralph Bingham; 
Secretary and Treasurer, Edwin L. Barker; Vice-Presidents, Ex-Governor 
Robert L Taylor, Robert J. Burdette, S. M. Spedon, Father L. J. Vaughan 
and Katherine Eggleston. 

SECOND YEAR. 

After a busy year the officers presented to the organization a full, attrac- 
tive and helpful program of business and entertainment at the Second Annual 
Convention, held in Philadelphia, September 6th to 9th. The headquarters 
were at Hotel Colonnade. Many of the members from the West came in a 
party organized in Chicago, and were met at the Broad Street Station by a 
large receiving party of Philadelphia members. At the first business session 
the name of Dr. A. A. Willits was proposed for Honorary President for life. 
The motion was unanimously carried. 

After the first business session the members were received by Mayor 
Weaver, who presented the organization with the key to the city. On the 



190 WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 

first evening of the Convention the members of the Association were the 
guests of the Pen and Pencil (press) Club. During the reception the 
Municipal Band, as a special favor from Mayor Weaver, provided the music. 

The banquet at the Colonnade, on the second evening, was largely 
attended and developed much enthusiasm during the toasts, which were given 
up largely to the consideration of lyceum questions. 

During the following afternoon the members were guests of the city 
at luncheon on board the city police boat " Ashbridge," and enjoyed a trip 
down the Delaware River. They were also the guests of Cramp & Son for an 
hour at their great shipyards. 

The close of the Convention was an all-star program at Association Hall. 

One of the most important results of the Convention was the plan to 
make the third meeting a Chautauqua, the members furnishing a program. 
At this Convention, also, a new Constitution was adopted. 

The election of officers during the last session of the Convention resulted 
in: President, Paul M. Pearson; Secretary, Edwin L. Barker; Treasurer, 
Dr. D. F. Fox; Vice-Presidents, Dr. John Merritte Driver, Lou J. Beau- 
champ, Nellie Peck Saunders. 

THIRD YEAR. 

The third meeting of the Association was held at Elkhart, Ind., in con- 
nection with the newly-organized Chautauqua Assembly at that place. The 
Association sold the management the program for half of the session. At 
this meeting of the Association business sessions were held in the morning, 
the members appearing on the Chautauqua program in the afternoon and 
evening. The business sessions developed some unusually interesting dis- 
cussions on lyceum questions, and the members spent much time on the 
Chautauqua grounds in social intercourse. The banquet was the most largely 
attended of any year. The membership of the Association had grown dur- 
ing the past year, so that the secretary reported nearly twice as many 
members. 

On the closing day of the Convention the following officers were elected 
for the succeeding year : President, Edmund Vance Cooke ; First Vice-Presi- 
dent, George R.. Wendling; Second Vice-President, Elias Day; Third Vice- 
President, Lou J. Beauchamp; Secretary, Edwin L. Barker; Treasurer, 
Edward Amherst Ott. 



WHO'S WHO IN THE LYCEUM. 191 

FOUBTH YEAK. 

The Convention of the Association for the fourth year was held at Val- 
paraiso, Ind., where the members provided the entire Chautauqua program. 
Mr. Harry M. Holbrook liad organized the Chautauqua and secured the 
program from the Association. The attendance was the largest of any meet- 
ing of the Association. The papers and discussions that were so profitable 
a feature of the preceding meeting were made an important factor in the 
Valparaiso meeting also. 

Many informal gatherings were the life of the social meeting of the 
organization, though no formal banquet was held. Informal programs were, 
too, a feature of the amusement members afforded each other, after the 
advertised programs had been given.
